SHASTA DAISIES CURIOUS 

 TUBULAR RAY FLOWERS 



We have learned through observa- 

 tion of many examples that when a 

 flower or plant once begins to vary, it 

 may continue to vary almost indefi- 

 nitely. Here is an illustration of a new 

 departure on the part of the Shasta 

 Daisy, in which the petals take on a 

 very curious form. It has interest as a 

 freak rather than because of its beauty, 

 but the variety is worthy of attention, 

 to see what may be its further variation 

 in this direction.
