BELLIS PERENNIS 



English Daisy. 

 These semi-hardy per- 

 ennials are very popular;

 often associated with 

 Pansies in planting, be- 

 ing frequently used to 

 form a border to beds of 

 them, I offer plants of 

 the improved double va- 

 rieties — Longfellow, 

 with large bright pink 

 flowers, and Snowball, 

 with large and very dou- 

 ble pure white flowers —

 enough for cutting. Each,

 plant with very ornamental foliage, producing large ter- 

 minal plume-like spikes of cream-colored flowers on stems 

 5 to 6 feet high. Exceedingly ornamental and flowers 

 continuously during July and August. Especially valu- 

 able for forming backgrounds for borders and for group- 

 ing with shrubbery. Each, 12c; doz,, $1,25; 100, $8,00.
