THE ELM CITY NURSERY COMPANY, 
(Panioilata l>ybrid$.) 
WE have in this useful plant one that is 
perfectly hardy, of the easiest culture 
and will thrive in any garden soil and 
at the same time produce in greatest profusion 
quantities of showy, hydrangea-like plumes on 
upright stems, with a great range of colors from 
the purest white through the pinks to the 
deepest fiery crimson. For producing brilliant 
color effects during July, August and Septem- 
ber nothing is more useful. Those who are 
familiar only with the magenta variety of the 
old gardens will hardly recognize the splendid 
colors now offered, in many instances with florets 
larger than a silver dollar.

$bfl$ta Daisy OBOTWgl Recent great fon^ 
new fiaray Garden Daisy, Shasta, 
THIS wonderful daisy on which a great deal has been written in the horticultural press the 
past year, is the work of Mr. Luther Burbank, of California, to whom we are indebted 
for so many fine introductions. Flowers are of the purest glistening white, of enor- 
mous size, about 4 inches in diameter and are borne on long, strong, stiff, wiry stems, about 
two feet in length. The flowers are produced in the greatest profusion, plants remaining in 
bloom for several months. They are perfectly hardy perennials, and will make a valuable ad- 
dition to our list of hardy plants on account of the abundance of flowers produced and their 
wonderful size. For cutting, the flowers are very effective. 
Last summer it was in bloom at the nursery, and is fully up to our anticipations. Mr. 
Burbank states that more admiration has been bestowed on this Shasta daisy by visitors, than 
upon any other flowering plant growing on his grounds.
