THE LATEST FLORAL WONDER. 
“SHASTA DAISIES.” 
(Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum 
Hybridum.) 
Mr. Burbank, the Wizard of 
Horticulture, and originator of this 
plant says: 
*• During the past few years when 
‘Shasta Daisies ’ were being bred 
and educated up to their present 
state more admiration has been 
bestowed upon them by visitors 
than upon any other flowering 
plant growing on my grounds,and 
with good reason, for to-day no 
other flower can compare in extent 
of usefulness. Their first qualifica¬ 
tion is hardiness. They can be 
grown out of doors by everybody 
where it is not cold enough to kill 
oak trees. Second, they are peren¬ 
nial, blooming better and more 
abundantly each season. Third, 
they can be multiplied rapidly by 
simple division and they are not 
particular as to soil. Fourth, they 
bloom for several months—in Cali¬ 
fornia nearly all the year. Fifth, 
the flowers are extremely large 
and graceful-averaging about a 
foot,often more—in circumference, 
with three or more rows of petals 
of the purest glistening whiteness, 
on single, strong, stiff, wiry stems, 
nearly two feet in length. This 
peculiar grace and remarkable 
whiteness cannot, of course, be 
shown on paper.

the year. Also fine winter bloomer.

They are of very easy 
culture in common 
garden soil, excellent

a moist, well drained 
situation, will flower 
the first season if 
started early. Hardy 
and lives year after 
year.
