DAISIES 

 Burbank's Shasta 



The Sha-sta Daisy is one of the most marvelous 

 productions in the flower line that has ever been 

 brought to the notice of floriculturists. It is the 

 first of a new type w-hich has been obtained by 

 hybridization and rigid selection through a series 

 of years. Its first qualification is extreme hardi- 

 ness. Second, it is perennial, blooming better and 

 more abundantly each" season. Third, it is not 

 particular as to soil. Fourth, it blooms for several 

 months. Fifth, the flowers are extremely large 

 and graceful, averaging about four inches in diam- 

 eter, with petals of the purest glistening whiteness, 

 "which are borne on single, long, stiff, wiry stems. 

 Sixth, the blooms when cut remain perfectly fresh 

 and in good condition for two weeks or more. No 

 other flower can compare with it in usefulness.
