The annual species of this very popular group 

 are showy Daisy or Marguerite-like flowers, and 

 well worth growing. Having long stems as cut 

 flowers for vases they have few rivals, almost 

 arranging themselves. For this purpose alone

 border and the reserve garden. There are many 

 different varieties, some of them double. They are 

 very simple to grow, requiring only good ordinary 

 garden soil, and bloom from July to the end of 

 September. The seedlings vary much, but the 

 following are distinct species : —
