Every claim made for SHASTA has been maintained. Every claim for these New Shastas 
will be. 
Give these New Shasta Daisies plenty of room, one by four feet, or two by three feet if convenient, with 
loose, rich, sandy, well-drained soil, and feed them well, just as you would the Chinese and Japanese 
chrysanthemum’s, but do not shelter, pet, pot and shade them. With sufficient moisture they will take care of 
themselves in any climate from Alaska to Sahara. But one point must be looked after; these new daisies, 
with all their remarkable vigor will bloom themselves to death if allowed to produce all the flowers which start 
before the plants have time to become established. Remove all, or all but one or two buds until a good clump 
of leaves has been formed, then let them loose; and they will exhibit an amazing wealth of bloom. After the 
first season two hundred to five hundred giant blossoms each will not strain their abilities in the least, though 
for rapid propagation, less would be better. 
Everything of unusual excellence is aped, appropriated, adulterated, imitated and counterfeited. My 
photographs, cuts and descriptions of Shasta Daisy have in a few cases been used to boom plants and seeds 
of the old Maxima, worthless wild seedlings, and even other plants not related to the Shasta Daisies in any way.
