 blooms. The feathery effect of the Ostrich-feathered type, to which it belongs, 

 is enhanced by the fact that it bears a large proportion of long, partly tubular 

 florets, that are irregularly cut and slashed, so that the flower looks like a ragged 

 Chrysanthemum. In season it comes between Queen of the Earlies and Daybreak.
