Burbank’s Shasta Daisy. 
One-half Natural Size. 
THIS SHASTA DAISY is one of the most 
marvelous productions in the flower line 
that has ever been brought to the notice of 
floriculturists. It is the first of a new type, 
which has been obtained by first combin- 
ing the free-flowering American species 
with the large, but coarse, European 
species, and the Japanese species Nipponi- 
cum, after which rigid selections through 
a series of years has produced the present 
wonderfully beautiful and useful strain. 
Its first qualification is hardiness; it can 
be grown out of doors bv anyone where it 
is not cold enough to kill oak trees. It is 
perennial, blooming better and more 
adundantly each season. It can be multi- 
plied rapidly by simple division, and it is 
not particular as to soil. It blooms for 
several months. The flowers are extremely 
large and graceful, averaging about four 
inches in diameter, with three or more rows 
of petals of the purest glistening white- 
ness, 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 t 100 seeds, 10 cts.
