SECTION XXXIX. COMPOSITE, OR COMPOSITE-FLOWERED 

 PLANTS (continued). 



PASSING on now to the radiate sub-tribe of the natural order 

 Composite, let us first direct our attention to the common but 

 modest daisy (Bellis perennis), which spreads on the verdure its 

 yellow disc surrounded with white rays tipped with pink, spring- 

 ing np at the earliest dawn of spring, and gladdening our sight 

 until the winter blasts return. The pretty daisy (Fig. 176) is asso- 

 ciated with our earliest recollections of fields and flowers ; it has 

 inspired the pastoral bards of many lands, and formed the subject 

 of many beautiful verses. Every one knows how ornamental 

 are daisies to the green turf of meadows ; but only the intelli- 

 gent farmer knows how dear is the price paid for the ornament. 

 Tho daisy, unostentatious as it is above ground, encroaches 

 sadly, with its leaves and spreading roots, on the grass tribe, 

 which is the special object of culture ; hence the grazier should 

 extirpate our little daisy friends by all means in his power ; to 

 him they are rather foes than friends. The chrysanthemum* 

 are all beautiful species, many of which are cultivated in Eng- 

 land. The Indian chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum Indieum), 

 as it is called, is a native of China, where it is a great favourite. 

 It flowers very late in the year, thus furnishing us with a floral 

 Christmas ornament. Its compound flowers grow to the size of 

 three or four inches in diameter. 



The asters are sturdy perennials, which, by their large and 

 highly-tinted compound flowers, contribute much to the embellish- 

 ment of a flower-garden. Most of the exotic asters have been 

 introduced from America; nevertheless, that of greatest beauty, 

 the China aster (Cattistephus Siii^nsts), originally came from 

 China. The extensive genus, GnaphaUum, which is divided into 

 many secondary genera, comprehends many ornamental plants, 

 known under the general designation of Everlastings. The 

 greater number of these species ia indigenous to Africa and 

 America. But of all the radiate sub-genera of Composite 

 esteemed for the beauty of their flowers, the most popular, 

 the moat cherished, the most bountiful, is the dahlia, with the
