 to call them " Giant Daisies," but by whatever name they may be 

 called they should prove very useful to the florist and decorator. 

 They are very useful for cut flowers, having long stems, flowering 

 most abundantly all season. The flowers are single, pure white, 

 and are from four to six inches across. They are very ornamental, 

 giving a grace and beauty to the hardy flower garden unequalled 

 by any other race of plants. Price, $1.25 per doz., $8.00 per 100.
