NEW: Plant Pat. 465 



The first truly double Shasta Daisy 

 with huge, firm, solidly rounded 

 blooms like large-flowered, fully 

 double garden Chrysanthemums. 

 These big, frosty white blooms come 

 singly on erect, very stout stems 18 

 to 24 inches long. Horace Read 

 blooms from June until late summer, 

 and the lasting quality of the flowers 

 is unbelievable. On the plant they 

 have been known to last in good con- 

 dition for about six weeks, and as 

 cut flowers they last almost as well. 



The unopened buds are 1 to 114 

 inches across. The petals of the full 

 blooms are long, not crested, making 

 ball-shaped flowers often more than 

 4 inches across. Distinctive, extra- 

 dark foliage. $1.50 ea.; 3 for $3.75. 



The following are 65c ea. 



Edgebrook Giant. Truly a giant for size of bloom, 

 the largest of all off"ered. Blooms in profusion and 

 continues until stopped by frost. A magnificent 

 single with several rows of closely set, overlapping 

 petals. Height 26 inches. 



Esther Read. See illus. A very beautiful, all-white, 

 crested Shasta Daisy that blooms practically all 

 summer long without stopping. The full-petaled 

 blooms, 3 to 4 inches in diameter, come freely on 

 sturdy plants 13^ to 2 feet tall. Flat, broad petals 

 surround a compact center tightly packed with 

 shorter petals. One of the very best.

 O SHASTA DAISIES ^ 



These will give masses of snowy 

 bloom and be a refreshing sight 

 through the heat of midsummer 

 days. For people whose "garden- 

 time" is mostly evenings, these 

 gleaming white flowers extend the 

 time of enjoyment, as they 

 show up long after other 

 colors have been smudged 

 to grayness by the dusk. 



Useful, too, for inter- 

 planting between bright 

 colors that would otherwise 

 clash. Shasta Daisies have 

 a long blooming season and 

 the blooms last well; as 

 cut-flowers they "have 

 everything." These are 

 improved varieties, care- 

 fully chosen for hardiness, 

 beauty, vigorous growth, 

 and most abundant bloom. Plant 

 12 to 18 inches apart in deep, rich 

 soil and in full sunshine. Avoid 

 fresh animal manures and lime.
