PYRETHRUM AUREUM l RISTATUM. 
Pyrethrum Aureum Cristatum (Hurst) A beautiful 
curled-leaved form of the ordinary Gulden Feather, and in colour equal to 
the best type of the original from which it has sported, whilst the leaves 
have the crisp appearance of the most exquisitely curled Parsley. Ilabit is 
extremely dwarf and compact, rendering it well adapted for carpet bedding, 
edgings, and similar purposes, it is, however, ns might be expected from its 
dwarf habit and good colour, a shy seeder, as is the case with all the extra 
good strains of Golden Feather. Per pkt., Is. (!</.
