Hardy perennials of easy culture, and especially note¬ 
worthy for their freedom in flowering. There are two 
distinct types of this genus. One is the Shasta Daisy, 
which bears large, white flowers on long stems, and is, 
therefore, invaluable for cutting, and the other is the 
Leucanthemum, the Daisy of our meadow's. It grows 
2 feet high, and bears white flowers freely from June 
to August. Maximum (Shasta Daisy) is a European 
species, and the parent of a number of very beautiful 
varieties, as Etoile d’Or, Mrs. Charles Lothian Bell and 
others. 
Culture. The Shasta Daisies require a deep, rich soil 
to grow them to perfection. In poor soils they soon 
assume a weedy aspect, and are anything but beautiful 
to look at. They must have a sunny position. They 
should be planted 1 foot apart. It is advisable to lift 
and divide the root stocks every alternate year, then 
the plants will be more compact in growth and also 
yield much finer flowers than if left undisturbed. 
Uliginosum being a tall grower, should be grown in 
wide borders or massed in the wild garden. Plant in 
fall or spring.
