GIANT DAISIES. 



Shasta Daisy. [Chrysanthemum Lencathe- 



mum Hybridum) . The first of a new type and 

 truly a floral wonder, produced by that great h}-- 

 bridige Luther Burbank by rigid selection from 

 various combinations made through a series of 

 years. The flowers are positively gigantic, avera- 

 ging about a foot in cirumference, with tu o, three, 

 or more rows of petals of pure glistening white 

 borne on single, stiff, strong stems nearly two 

 feet long, singularly graceful and elegant. The 

 plant is exceeding!}- hardy and blooms incessantly 

 for several months. It is extra fine for cutting, 

 the flowers remaining perfectly fresh and in good 

 condition for two weeks. It excites wonder and 

 intense admiration wherever seen and may be 

 regarded as well worthv of its famous originator.

Prince Henry Daisy. Decidedly superior 

 to the great vShasta Daisy and by all odds the 

 largest, the finest and the best of all the varieties 

 of Chrysanthemum Maximum, and when in full 

 bloom is truly a wondrous sight to behold. The 

 plant seldom exceeds twenty inches in height, is 

 bushy, dense and globe-shaped, and produces its 

 immense flowers in great numbers. These are 

 wonderfully decorative, of extraordinary size — 

 measuring four inches and more in diameter when 



fulh- open — ^with clear white petals and bright 

 yellow centres, on strong, stiff stems. They are 

 unsurpassed for cutting and furnish an abundant 

 and continuous supply for a long time. Being so 

 large and handsome and so stout in stem they are 

 exceedingh- valuable for decoration of all kinds. 

 The plant is of great hardiness, thrives in all sorts 

 of soil and succeeds ever\- where. It is a grand 

 acquisition. See illustratio?i on last page of cover .
