NEW DOUBLE-FLOWERED PYRETHRUMS. 
These New Doubledflmvered Hardy Pyre thrums it is scarcely possible to over-estimate the value of as flowering 
plants in May and Jane. Their large Aster-like flowers range in colour from snow-white to the most intense 
maoenta-crimson. Tnt habit of the plant is graceful, the foliage elegant, and the flowers are produced in the 
greatest profusion, while its hardiness is beyond all doubt, having stood uninjured during the series of intensely 
severe winters of recent years. In herbaceous borders, in shrubtnrees, and situations where variety of colour is 
important this plant is matchless. As a cut flower for vases and table decoration the blossoms are of great value, 
aed are more lasting in water than any other flower. At the exhibitions in May and June these flowers have 
attracted muck attention. 
If after the first bloom is over the plants arc cut back and attended to with manure water to encourage 
vigorous growth during the summer months, these beautiful Double flowered Hardy Pyrcthrums will again 
flower in Autumn almost as freely as they did in May and June.
