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 gfarden: of ea'^y growth and the 

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

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

 bloomer. Pkt., 200 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 draiued situ- 

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

Shasta Daisy— One-Half Natural Size, 



THE SHASTA DAISY is one of the most mar^-elous productions 

 in the flower line that has ever been brought to the notice of flori- 

 culturists. It is the first of a new type, which has been obtained 

 by first combining the free-flowering American species with the 

 large, but coarse European species and the Japanese species, Nip- 

 ponicum, after which rigid selection through a series of 3'ears has 

 produced the present wonderfully beautiful and useful strain. Its 

 first qualification is hardiness; it can be grown out of doors by 

 anybody where it is not cold enough to kill oak trees. It is peren- 

 nial, 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 diame- 

 ter, 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. Pkt., 100 seeds, 10 cts.
