CHRYSANTHEMUM MAXIMUM - Shasta Daisy 
Hardy perennials of easy culture, and especially noteworthy 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 Leucan- 
themum, the Daisy of our meadows. 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. 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. *
