 DAISY. 



(C h rysanthemum 



L e u c a n thenium 



Hybridum.) 



A magnificent 

 Daisy or Margue- 

 rite, the flowers of 

 which are snow 

 white, with a yel- 

 low heart or cen- 

 ter, and are pro- 

 duced in great 

 profusion on long, 

 stiff stems, which 

 makes it valuable 

 for cut flowers 

 and decorative 

 uses. The plant 

 is perfectly hardy and will 

 bear flowers the first sea- 

 son from seed, but it is the 

 second year before it reaches perfection, after which it is one 

 mass of beautiful flowers all summer. Pkt. 10c. See page 62. 



Handsome plants, excellent for beds or borders, with long 

 spikes of flowers, which continue in bloom until late in the fall. 

 For early flowering sow the Seed indoors in March or April, or 

 outside as soon as the warm weather appears. Salvias planted on 

 light or rather poor soils •will come 

 into flower much earlier than if planted 

 on heavy, strong soils, where they de- 

 velop a much more rank plant and con- 

 sequently later in flowering. H. H. P.
