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 f st 
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 Jap- 
anese species Nipponicum, after which 
rigid selections through a series of years 
lias produced the present wonderfully 
beautiful and useful strain. Its first quali- 
fication is hardiness; it can be grown out 
out of doors by anyone where it is not 
cold enough to kill oak trees. It is per- 
ennial, blooming better and more abund- 
antly each season. It can be multiplied 
rapidly by simple division, and it is not 
particular as to soil. It blooms for sev- 
eral 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 
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.

Discovered in South Africa by a collector of Orchids. The plant is of robust habit, with 
thick, dark, brown-purple, shluing stems. The branches are numerous, spreading 3 or 4 feet; 
thick, large, dark green colored leaves. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, measuring 8 or 10 
inches In length and 5 to 7 inches across the mouth, and form three distinct flowers growing 
each within the other. The mouth of the corolla Is the most delicate white, beautifully marked 
with purple. A single plant gives from 200 to 300 fragrant blooms during the season, followed 
by a large, thorny seed vessel, which adds to Its beauty; is one of easiest culture; plant at 
the end of May In a warm, rich soil; can be cultivated as an isolated specimen, in masses for 
center of beds, or to fill barren places, and produces a striking effect. Pkt., 15 seeds, 5 cts.
