The Blue Daisy , Agathea Coelestls. 
The flowers are the very counterpart of the Paris Daisy, which 
is sky blue with a yellow disc. It makes a very pretty object for 
summerdecoration in the flower garden : of easy growth and the 
plant may be had in flower all the year ’round. It is allied to 
Cinerari, and requires about the same treatment. A fine winter 
bloomer. Pkt ., 200 seeds, 5 cts. 
Orange Daisy, Erlgeron Aurantlca. 
A beautiful perennial plant, somewhat resembling an Aster, 
but having the ray-florets in several series ; flower heads flat, about 
two inches across, bright orange color, on strong stout stems. 
They are of very easy culture in common garden soil and form 
elegant subjects for mixed borders. In a moist, well drained situ- 
ation will flower the first season if started early in the house.

Shasta Daisy — One-Half Natural Size. 
THE SHASTA DAISY is one of the most marvelous productions 
in the flower line that has ever been brought to the notice of flori- 
culturists. It is the first of a new type, which has been obtained 
by first combining the free-flowering American species with the 
large, but coarse European species and the Japanese species, Nip- 
ponicum, after which rigid selection 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 by 
anybody where it is not cold enough to kill oak trees. It is peren- 
nial, blooming better and more abundantly each season. It can 
be multiplied rapidly by simple division, and it is not particular 
as to soil. It blooms for several months. The flowers are ex- 
tremely large and graceful, averaging about four inches in diame- 
ter. with three or more rows of petals of the purest glistening 
whiteness, 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., 100 seeds , 10 cts.
