DREER'S SINGLE ANNUAL CHRYSANTHEMUMS 

 or PAINTED DAISIES 



The Painted Daisies have long been grown in many gardens, but not to the extent they deserve, and we hope that our featuring of 

 them in showing six of the best sorts in color on the plate opposite will induce many of our patrons to give them a trial. 



They succeed in any good garden soil and preferably a sunny location. The seed may be sown in the open ground in spring as soon 

 as the weather is settled, or they may be started in a frame in early April and the plants placed in their flowering quarters when a few • 

 inches high. The plants grow from 24 to 30 inches high, quite bushy, and should be given ample room to develop, not closer than 15 inches 

 apart. They make a bold appearance in beds or borders, and the large Daisy-like flowers are excellent for cutting. They come into bloom 

 about midsummer, remaining in good condition until autumn.
