ACHILLEA 
Milfoil or Yarrow 
Use Them More Frequently 
In Floral Pieces. 
Achilleas are of easy culture and grow 
in any good garden soil, preferring 
sunny locations. They are useful for the 
border, wild garden or shrubbery. For 
cutting there are many outstanding flow¬ 
ers among the Achilleas for summer 
floral pieces. In late years it has come 
to our attention that Achilleas are used 
in many floral pieces, due to the fact 
that when a planting of these are main¬ 
tained and the flowers used continuously 
they are practically ever-bloomers. Any¬ 
time throughout the summer the florist 
can cut Achilleas for use as fillers. They 
are very valuable when the Gypsophila 
or Baby’s Breath is off crop.
