of the best cut flowers. 
Pyrethrums are so simply and easily cultivated that they 
may be recommended to all who possess.a garden. Flowers 
are bright and elegantly borne on long stems; most con- 
venient for decoration. In form, the double varieties are 
somewhat aster or chrysanthemum-like, and as their chief 
beauty is in the months of May and June, they may well be 
called Spring Chrysanthemums, possessing the advantage 
over the Chrysanthemums of being able to withstand the 
severest Winter without protection. The single-flowered va- 
rieties are variable colored Marguerites and possess a wide 
range of color, very popular. Thrive in any good soil.
