SHASTA DAISIES 



It's little wonder that Shasta Daisies are one of our most popular 

 hardy flowers. They are so easy to grow — they come in mid- 

 summer when there is a scarcity of other flowers — they bloom 

 in great quantities, providing material for cutting as well as for 

 the garden . . . beautiful blooms that last for days in an arrangement. 

 Shasta Daisies require only a good garden soil, at least a half day of 

 sunlight, and an occasional watering in a dry summer. Their fresh white color 

 makes Shastas an excellent accent plant and provides contrast with brightly 

 colored perennials such as poppies, phlox, lilies and delphinium. 



AGLAYA. Flat, fringed white petals frame the golden center which consists of 

 hundreds of short petals. Abundant, large double blooms on long stems. Long 

 lasting, hardy and perfect for cutting. Blooms well all through the summer. 



$1.10 ea. — 3 or more, 95c ea. 



ESTHER READ. Broad, flat outer petals and compact, tight center. Pure 

 white, fully double flowers from 3 to 4 inches across, flat topped and perfectly
