Pyrethrum Hybridum 



This grand old-fashioned Hardy Perennial is easy to grow in any 

 good garden soil where there is good drainage and full exposure to 

 the sun. They prefer to be left undisturbed for two or three years 

 and if given an annual top dressing of well-rotted manure, flower 

 generously. Their main season of blooming is in June, but if the 

 first crop of flower stems is removed as soon as finished, they will 

 give a fair sprinkling of flowers during the summer and autumn 

 months. The fine fern-like foliage of the plants is attractive at all 

 times. 



The plants which we offer are single-flowering and embrace all

 pure white. These can be supplied in mixed colors only. 25 cts. 

 each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100.
