The Blue Daisy, Agathea Coelestis. 
The flowers are the very counterpart of the Paris Daisy, which is 
sky blue with a yellow disc. It makes a very pretty object for 
summer decoration in the flower garden; of easy growth and the 
plant may be had in- flower all the year ’round. It is allied to 
Cineraria, and requires about -the same treatment. A fine winter 
bloomer. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 
Orange Daisy, Erigeron Aurantica . 
A beautiful perennial plant, somewhat resembling an Aster, but 
having the ray-florets in several series; flower heads flat, about 
two inches across, bright orange color, on strong, stout stems. 
They are of very easy culture in common garden soil and form 
elegant subjects for mixed borders. In a moist, well-drained situ¬ 
ation will flower the first season if started early in the house.

Bear Madam- 
Last spring I 
purchased a pa¬ 
per of Cineraria 
seed of you, pay¬ 
ing 8c for same. 
The paper of 
seeds you said 
contained one 
hundred seeds. 1 
have had such 
lovely luck with 
them, thought I 
would let you 
know how I came 
out. This is what 
the one paper of 
seed done for 
me: I sold to a 
city greenhouse 
65 large plants 
for which I re¬ 
ceived $2.65. I 
gave fifty nice 
plants to my 
friends and have 
60 elegant plants 
left for myself. 
How is that? 
Have also had 
good luck with 
m y Primroses, 
and have over 
60 good, healthy 
plants. This is 
my first year try¬ 
ing to grow Cal¬ 
ceolarias. I gave 
them the same 
soil and treat¬ 
ment that I gave 
m y Cineraria 
and Primroses, 
but they don’t 
seem to grow; 
perhaps another 
time I will have 
better success. 
Your seeds are 
all right. 
Yours truly, 
Ohas. L. Greene. 
Shasta Daisy—Qne-Half Natural Size. 
THE SHASTA DAISY is one of the most marvelous 
productions in the flower line that has ever been, 
brought to the notice of floriculturists. It is the first 
of a new type, which has been obtained by first com¬ 
bining the free-flowering American species with 
the large but coarse European species and the Jap¬ 
anese species, Nipponicum, after which rigid selec¬ 
tion through a series of years has produced the pres¬ 
ent wonderfully beautiful and useful strain. Its first 
Qualification is hardiness; it can be grown out of 
doors by anybody where it is not cold enough to kill 
oak trees. It is perennial, blooming better and more 
abundantly each season. It can be multiplied rapidly 
by simple division, and it is not particular as to soil. 
It blooms for several months. The flowers are ex¬ 
tremely large and graceful, averaging about four 
inches in diameter, with three or more rows of petals 
of the purest glistening whiteness, and are borne on 
single, strong, stiff, wiry stems, nearly two feet in 
length. The blooms when cut remain perfectly fresh 
and in good condition for two weeks or more. No other 
flower can compare with it in usefulness. 75 seeds, 15c
