PYRETHRUM HYBRIDUM 



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

 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.
