DOUBLE DAISY. 
Every one knows the Daisy. 
Give it a cool, partially shaded 
place. Sow seed very early. 
The flowers are abundant in 
early spring, and may be 
made to flower later by the 
use of water. Plants can be 
removed safely even when in 
flower. The plants should 
be about six inches apart 
when set, so that when in 
perfection they will about 
cover the ground. 
Beilis perennis, best German seed,. 20

simum is very desirable 
for cutting.
