Seeds of Perennials 
Chrysanthemum Maximum (Shasta Daisy) 
Nat. Ord. Compositao 
Absolutely hardy and of easiest possible culture, but requires the following 
treatment in order to obtain the best results. Soon after the plant has made its 
growth of foliage in the springtime it begins to throw up the flowering shoots. 
These must be removed up to August 15th, for if allowed to develop as they first 
appear, the plant will flower itself to death and disappear. Jf treated as we sug¬ 
gest it will produce an enormous leaf growth and up to fifty gigantic flowers at one 
time, lasting from early September until the snow flies. The flower-stems will grow 
15 inches high and produce monstrous white Daisies, which are not only exceedingly 
attractive in the garden, but form also one of the finest cutting materials.

§8627.- Laciniatum (Lace-Petaled Shasta Daisy). From what formerly was a 
stiff flower, this new introduction shows us how we can change things about 
and produce something most beautiful and graceful by breeding for a differ¬ 
ent form of petal. It is a very difficult task to convey to our readers a 
precise conception of the true beauty of this elegant Shasta Daisy. The 
gigantic flowers invariably have two rows of petals which do not extend 
themselves in a straight direction, as the parents do, but which gracefully 
curve up and downward. Each individual petal is split considerably, giv¬ 
ing the flower a fantastic and rather Japanese appearance. In large clumps 
it presents an artistic picture .Pkt., $ .25 
CoreopsLs (Calliopsis) 
Nat. Ord. Compositao 
8660. — Lanceolata. A very popular and most serviceable plant for the border. 
The much lanceolated foliage grows in symmetric clusters, 12 inches high, 
and from its center appear graceful, thin, wiry flower-stems growing to a 
height of 2*4 feet, which terminate in a large Daisy-like golden flower 
with a yellow center. The petals of the flower are lanced, which helps to 
enhance its beauty. These flower-spikes appear in great profusion from 
June until late autumn uninterruptedly, particularly so if the flowers are 
constantly cut. As a cut flower to last this is undoubtedly the best of all 
perennials. Space to be given, 15 inches .Pkt., $ .10 
Dianthus Deltoides (Maiden Pink) 
Nat. Ord. Caryophyllaca 
8600. —Rosens. Most charming plant for rockeries or edging borders or in 
crevices of walls. The foliage is like fine grass and lies flat on the ground, 
while the tiny single rose-pink flowers appear in masses during the whole 
summer. Height, 6 inches. Space, 6 inches.Pkt., $ .10 
§8695. —Alba. White flowers.Pkt., .10 
8698. — Latifolius Atrococcineus (The Ever-blooming Sweet William). The plant

which the individual is very large and double. Color—rich crimson. The 
plant is in bloom almost continuously during the season.Pkt., $ .10
