Burbank’s Shasta Daisies. 
It is now nearly 10 years since Mr. Burbank sent out 
‘the first Shasta Daisy. Since then it has been steadily 
improved by selection, until to-day it is much superior to 
the original type. We offer the following, received direct 
from Mr. Burbank: 
1948 Alaska. A splendid variety, with flowers rarely 
less than 5 inches across, of the purest glistening 
white, with broad, overlapping petals, and borne 
on long, strong stems; a beautiful cut flower, remain- 
ing in good condition a week or more. 25 cts, per 
pkt.; 5 pkts., $1,00. 
1950 Shasta Daisy. A general mixture saved from a 
large number of extra choice hybrids, and certain 
to produce a large number of varieties of great 
merit. 20 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts., 50 cts. 
Gigantic-flowering Cosmos 
“LADY LENOX.” 
2084 This, the latest development in this popular autumn 
flower, bears gigantic flowers, with wide, overlap- 
ping petals of spleadid substance, making a per- 
fectly circular flower, which is borne on very long 
stems, in color a beautiful deep rosy-pink. The 
plant is of strong, vigorous growth, 6 to 7 feet 
high. 10 cts, per pkt. 
EXTRA EARLY COSMOS. 
Seeds sown in the open ground April 27th produced 
plants that were covered with bloom July 20th, two 
months before the late-flowering kinds. While the flowers 
are not so large as the late sort, they are of good size, 
and will undoubtedly perfect their flowers in the most 
northerly States.
