DIENER'S NEW GIANT DOUBLE WHITE SHASTA DAISY (PERENNIAL) 
SHASTA DAISY 
(Perennial) (Chrysanthemum Maximum Hybrids) 
For the last six years I have made many crosses for 
larger flowers, double, and long wire-like stems, in 
which I have succeeded wonderfully. The Shasta 
Daisy is bound to be in the foreground for years to 
come. I produced the most beautiful, perfect doubles 
over five inches in diameter, with long, strong stems, 
but they can only be propagated by division as they 
do not bring any seeds and so it will be several years 
before they can be put on the market. Among my 
seedlings this year I have many flowers between 
seven and eight inches across, of perfect shape and 
on stems four to six feet tall and scores of wonder¬ 
ful, semi-doubles in all kinds of shapes and forms.

Dear Sir: You may be interested to know that several 
plants from seeds of your Double Shasta Daisy planted last 
spring bloomed for me in the fall and all were double and 
most unusual and attractive. Yours truly, 
JOSIAH FORT. 
DIENER'S NEW GIANT DOUBLE 
WHITE SHASTA DAISY 
(Perennial) 
This new double Shasta Daisy will be a great addi¬ 
tion to our cut flowers. It is around five inches in 
diameter on long, stiff stems, flowering for about 
three months. They look very much like Giant 
Asters and in locations where Asters cannot be 
raised, due to diseases, this double Shasta Daisy 
will take the place of Asters and will be one of the 
best novelties in the next few years.
