Graceful of Flower and Stem 



In developing the remarkable Shasta daisy, Mr. Burbank 

 did not confine himself to observation of any single character, 

 but took into consideration at all times not only the flower itself, but 

 also the stem and the manner of growth. Through rigid selec- 

 tion, in connection with the hybridizing experiments, he 

 produced a flower that is peculiarly graceful both 

 as to blossom and as to form and man- 

 ner of growth of stem.
