DAISIES 
The Shasta. Luther Burbank, who has origi- 
nated so many wonderful new fruits, has turned 
his attention to flowers, and has astonished the 
floral world with a Daisy which seems to surpass 
anything he has ever produced in fruit. It is a 
perfectly hardy perennial that will be a great addi- 
tion to bedding-plants and to cut-flowers. The 
plants grow fast and increase rapidly. It is a fine 
bloomer. A bed of these giant white Daisies in 
full bloom is a sight worth seeing. The flowers 
measure 3>^ to 4 inches across, and are borne on 
stems 18 inches to 2 feet long. They have two 
rows of long, broad white petals and a yellow 
center. The foliage grows near the ground and 
the numerous long, slender-stemmed white flowers 
rise most gracefully amid the bed of green. It is 
a wonderfully effective bedding plant, blooming 
all through the spring and summer months. The 
flowers keep in water for two weeks, to cts. each, 
$i per doz. 
PARIS DAISIES (Marguerites) 
Very profitable for cut-flowers. Always in 
active demand because of the many uses to which 
they are adapted, and also very easily grown and 
handled. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz. 
Queen Alexandra. The new anemone-flowered 
Marguerite, or Paris Daisy. The single-flowered 
Paris Daisy has, for many years, been a favorite, 
not only as a cut-flower, but also as a decorative 
pot-plant, during the winter months; and we pre- 
Shuta Dais/

greater future. The flowers are from zK to 3

New Pink Gladiolus, America 
Color a beautiful soft flesh-pink, very light and 
much like Enchantress Carnation, except that it 
is slightly tinged with lavender, which gives it 
the delicate coloring of the most beautiful Lnelias. 
Words fail to do justice in describing this grand 
and glorious color ; it must be seen to be appre- 
ciated. Growth is very strong and healthy, pro- 
ducing a beautiful dark green foliage and a strong, 
erect spike of the largest flowers, well set to show 
to the best advantage, thus making it an excep- 
tionally good bedding variety. 20 cts. each, $2 
per doz.
