HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



(Shasta Daisy, Etc.) 



Arcticum ( The Arctic Daisy). Among fall-flowering perennials, this 

 is a perfect gem. It forms an attractive rosette-like clump of pretty 

 dark-green foliage, and in September multitudes of flower stems appear, 

 terminated by pure white flowers from 2 to 2£ inches in diameter. These 

 begin to develop during the last week in September, and continue in 

 good condition throughout October, and frequently into November; 15 

 inches; 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. 



Shasta Daisy "Alaska." A decided improvement on the original; 

 with blooms 4£ to 5 inches across, of pure glistening white. Very free- 

 flowering and in bloom all summer and fall. (See cut.) 20 cts. each; 

 $2.00 per doz.; $12.00 per 100.

Stately and handsome perennials, growing about 2 feet high, and bear- 

 ing numerous spikes of large flower heads during the summer and fall. 

 Glabra alba. Terminal spikes of creamy- white flowers. 

 Lyoni. Heads of showy purplish-red flowers. (See cut.) 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



CIMICIEUGA (Snake Root) 



Simplex. Most valuable by reason of its extreme late flowering, begin- 

 ning in September and attaining full perfection about the middle of 

 October, a time when flowers are scarce. Its flowering stems are from 

 2£ to 3 feet high, terminated with a dense spike of white flowers, which, 

 when cut, last in perfection a long time. (See cut.) 50 cts. each; 

 $5.00 per doz. 

 Acerina or Japonica. A pretty Japanese variety with white flowers. 

 August and September; excellent for cutting; 2£ feet. 



Dahurica. Large cylindrical spikes of 

 creamy-white flowers in September; 3$ 

 feet. 



Racemosa. A handsome na- 

 tive species bearing in July and 

 August spikes of pure white 

 flowers; well suited for plant- 

 ing at the back of the border, 

 or for naturalizing at the 

 edge of the woods; 4 to 6 

 feet.
