The Shasta Daisy and Two of Its Parents 



The upper flower is a form of the Shasta Daisy 



slightly different from that shown on page six, the curving rays of 



which give a better realization of the kinship between the daisy and 



the chrysanthemum. At the bottom are shown a Japanese 



daisy at the left, and an European daisy at the right, 



both in proportionate size. The two small flowers 



at the bottom may truly be called direct 



ancestors of the larger flower above.
