EUROPE JUNE THROUGH SEPTEMBER 



IARGE daisylike golden flowers, one to two inches across, pro- 

 -/ fusely borne on vigorous bushy stems two to three feet high. Fo- 

 liage finely cut, fernlike. If planted in fairly large masses it makes a 

 fine showing, but should 

 always be framed by 

 plants of strong foliage 

 as its thin stems and 

 delicate leaves are apt to 

 appear straggling. Excel- 

 lent for the herbaceous 

 border and for cut flowers, 

 especially useful for rather 

 dry places. 



A perfectly hardy per- 

 ennial of easiest culture; 

 will thrive in almost any 

 soil, but needs full ex- 

 posure to the sun. 



Propagate by seed or 

 division. 



A. Kelwayi (or A. tinc- 

 tdriuy var. Kelwayi) has 

 more finely cut foliage, 

 and flowers of a deeper 

 yellow. Excellent.
