PYRETHRUM 

 HYBRIDUM. 



A beautiful, early - flowering, 

 hardy perennial. The foliage is 

 finely cut and quite ornamental- 

 the flowers are in vivid shades of 

 rose and pink, as large as an Aster, 

 and remarkable for the length of 

 time they remain perfect. It is 



fterfectly hardy and easily raised 

 rom seed. A great mass of the 

 blossoms used last summer as a 

 church decoration on Children's 

 Day made a wonderfully pretty 

 and showy sight. Devote some 

 odd corner of the garden to them 

 and grow a mass of them. They 

 come early, are splendid for all 

 cut flower purposes, very showy 

 and pretty, and entirely hardy 

 anywhere, even in our more nor- 

 thern latitudes. Pkt., 3 Cts.
