The Blue Daisy, Agathea Coelestis. 



The flowers are the very counterpart of the Paris Daisy, which is 

 sky blue with a yellow disc. It makes a very pretty object for 

 summer decoration in the flower garden; of easy growth and the 

 plant may be had in flower all the year 'round. It is allied to 

 Cineraria, and requires about the same treatment. A fine winter 

 bloomer. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 



Orange Daisy, Erigeron Aurantica. 



A beautiful perennial plant, somewhat resembling an Aster, but 

 having the ray-florets in several series; flower heads flat, about 

 two inches across, bright orange color, on strong, stout stems. 

 They are of very easy culture in common garden soil and form 

 elegant subjects for mixed borders. In a moist, well-drained situ- 

 ation will flower the first season if started early in the house.

Dear Madam — 

 Last spring I 

 purchased a pa- 

 per of Cineraria 

 seed of you, pay- 

 ing 8c for same. 

 The paper of 

 seeds you said 

 contained one 

 hundred seeds. 1 

 have had such 

 lovely luck with 

 them, thought I 

 would let you 

 know how I came 

 out. This is what 

 the one paper of 

 seed done for 

 me: 1 sold to a 

 city greenhouse 

 65 large plants 

 for which I re- 

 ceived $2.65. I 

 gave fifty nice 

 plants to my 

 friends and have 

 50 eleeant plants 

 left for myself. 

 How is that? 

 Have also had 

 good luck with 

 m y Primroses, 

 and have over 

 50 good, healthy 

 plants. This is 

 my first year try- 

 ing to grow Cal- 

 ceolarias. I gave 

 them the same 

 soil and treat- 

 ment that I gave 

 m y Cineraria 

 and Primroses, 

 but they don't 

 seem to grow; 

 perhaps another 

 time I will have 

 better success. 



Your seeds are 

 all right. 



Yours truly, 

 Chas. L. Greene. 



Shasta Daisy— One-Half Natural Size. 

 THE SHASTA DAISY is one of the most marvelous 

 productions in the flower line that has ever been 

 brought to the notice of floriculturists. It is the first 

 of a new type, which has been obtained by first com- 

 bining the free-flowering American species witb 

 the large but coarse European species and the Jap- 

 anese species, Nipponicum, after which rigid selec- 

 tion through a series of years has produced the pres- 

 ent wonderfully beautiful and useful strain. Its first 

 aualification is hardiness; it can be grown out of 

 oors by anybody where it is not cold enough to kill 

 oak trees. It is perennial, blooming better and more 

 abundantly each season. It can be multiplied rapidly 

 by simple division, and it is not particular as to soil. 

 It blooms for several months. The flowers are ex- 

 tremely large and graceful, averaging about four 

 inches in diameter, with three or more rows of petals, 

 of the purest glistening whiteness, and are borne on 

 single, strong, stiff, wiry stems, nearly two feet in 

 length. The blooms when cut remain perfectly fresh 

 and in good condition for two weeks or more. No other 

 flower can compare with it in usefulness. 75 seeds, 15a
