 dwarfer and more floriferous than any of the dwarf varieties; 

 they form sturdy miniature bushes literally covered with 

 blooms which retain their beauty for a very long period. 

 The flowers are carmine red with two white stripes on each 

 petal, a very pleasing tint which shows off their novel shape 

 to particular advantage. Price, per pkt., 15c.

 blooming season than the P. Sinensis section. For other va- 

 rieties see page 82. Price, per pkt., 20c. 



NEW PINKS 



Giant Shasta Daisy 



No. 1025. The Shasta 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, 

 which has been obtained by first combining the free-flower- 

 ing American species vrith the large but coarse Kuropean 

 species and the Japanese species, Nipponicum, after which 

 rigid selection through a series of years has produced the 

 present wonderfully beautiful and useful strain. Its first 

 qualification is hardiness ; it can be grown out of doors by 

 anybody, where it is not cold enough to kill oak trees. It 

 is perennial, blooming better and more abundantly each 

 season. It can be multiplied rapidly by simple division, and 

 it is not particular as to soil, and it blooms for several 

 months. The flowers are extremely large and graceful, 

 averaging about 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Packet, 15c.
