I^ellis —(Double Daisy. 
Beautiful double flowers that appear in early spring if 
plants are slightly protected over winter. Blossoms also 
very early from spring-sown seed, as plants bloom when but 
two or three inches high. If given a cool, moist, shady 
location, will bloom all summer, even in the South. As pot 
plants they are charming and will bloom freely all winter, 
as they delight in cold weather. In the open ground, cul¬ 
tivate exactly as you would Pansies, and next to the Pansy, 
it is the most charming little garden flower. Per pkt.
