Paul J. Howard's New Transvaal Daisies 
CERBERA HYBRIDS 
We have developed, by years of careful selection of the most 
desirable types and colors, a strain of these marvellous flowers 
which we sincerely believe is beyond compare. While we have in¬ 
creased the size of the flowers to astounding proportions, all of 
the grace of form of the single flowers has been retained, by elim¬ 
ination of any coarser types. The petals are very long, narrow and 
graceful, surrounding the central disc which is very small in pro¬ 
portion to the size of flower. The color range includes the most 
pleasing rich hues of crimson, deep rose, scarlet and orange, and 
embraces the pleasing pastel tones of yellow, cream, pink, salmon, 
orange, white, etc.—all colors of charming clarity. The colors of 
the central discs are also distinct in this strain—some are of the 
same hue as the petals, others have more contrasting tones, each 
making flowers of exquisite beauty. Our growing grounds at 
Chatsworth present ideal conditions for the development of these 
fine perennials, and the plants we supply have the maximum 
health and vigor—whatever size plants you choose, you will receive 
the strongest plants possible to produce. 
Transvaal Daisies are ideal for 
cutting, being long stemmed and 
very lasting. Plant them in full 
sunshine. Their cultural require¬ 
ments are very simple: soil should 
be well drained and should not be 
allowed to cover the crown, or 
center of plants. Irrigate thor¬ 
oughly, and do not water again 
until soil is fairly dry. Avoid 
sprinkling and too frequent wat¬ 
ering. Protect the plants in win¬ 
ter where freezing weather is pre¬ 
valent. 
New Double Transvaal Daisies 
A new race of these lovely flowers, a result of much 
painstaking selection. The petal formation is artistic, 
graduating from long graceful outer petals, to shorter 
ones in the center, forming a flower of lovely propor¬ 
tions. The colors range from delicate pink tones through 
glowing rose to scarlet, with many intervening hues. 
They are extremely long lasting as cut flowers.
