The Burbank Shasta Daisies 
(Two New Types) 
When the first Shasta Daisy was an- 
nounced the broad definite and unmis- 
takable claims made for it were received 
with some incredulity; now the Shasta 
Daisy is the most popular white flower 
grown in the world. Since the introduc- 
tion of the original Shasta Daisy seedling 
plants were raised by the hundred thous- 
ands by Mr. Burbank and as a result two 
new strains of the Shasta Daisies, the 
Westralia and the Abundance, were de- 
veloped. These are almost as great an 
advance over the o/riginal Shasta as 
that was over all the Moonpenny daisies 
then known. Shasta embodied the highest 
type of grace, beauty, abundance of 
bloom, hardiness and keeping qualities; 
the effort since has been to give this 
strain increased vigor and perpetual 
blooming qualities and in the ones now 
offered all that could be desired has 
been added. The Shasta Daisies are 
fine perennial plants with large white 
blossoms with yellow centers and are 
unexcelled as a cut flower or as a bed- 
ding and border plant. They are ex- 
tremely hardy. These new types have 
remarkable resistant vigor and ability to 
overcome ill treatment and unfavorable 
conditions not possessed by the original 
Shasta Daisies.
