SHASTA DAISY 
SHASTA DAISY 
One inch less than full diameter 
EULALIA 
Eulalia Japonica variegata. This variety, except that 
the variegation of the leaf is lengthwise, is very similar 
in style and habit of growth to E. Japonica zebrina, 
and it forms so beautiful and striking a contrast to 
that variety as to make them desirable companion 
plants. 
Japonica zebrina. This plant is unlike most varie¬ 
gated plants, as its stripe or marking is across the 
leaf instead of lengthwise. In fall it bears large tassel¬ 
like plumes. 
Gracillima univitata. The most beautiful of all the 
Eulalias. Foliage narrow, dark green, with a silvery 
white midrib. 
Each 20 cents; one plant of each of above three for 50 
cents. 
HELIANTHUS 
HARDY SUNFLOWERS 
These varieties of Hclianthus are perfectly hardy in this 
locality, but in colder regions a protection of coarse litter 
will be required. The plants attain a height of about four 
feet, and in their blooming season, in August and Sep¬ 
tember, they are nearly covered with bright golden-yellow 
double flowers, about the size of a Dahlia ; they are very 
desirable for cutting. Each 15 cents; dozen, $1.50. 
Helianthus lataefrons. Plant of distinct habit, form¬ 
ing a pyramid of lovely flowers and foliage. Flowers 
golden-yellow, single. 
Maximiliani. Grows from five to seven feet high ; 
flowers produced in long graceful sprays of golden- 
yellow. 
Multiflorus plenus. Yellow flowers, perfectly formed. 
Soliel d’Or. The Golden Quilled Sunflower; similar to 
the above variety, except that the petals arc quilled 
like some of our finest Dahlias. 
HELIOPSIS PITCHERIANA 
A hardy perennial, three feet high, broad and bushy, 
and a perpetual bloomer. Flowers deep golden yellow, 
two inches across. Very fine for cutting. Each 15 cents. 
The Shasta Daisy is one of the most 
marvelous- productions in the flower line 
that has ever been brought to the notice 
of floriculturists. It is the first of a new 
type, which has been obtained by hybrid¬ 
ization and rigid selection through a series 
of years. Its first qualification is extreme 
hardiness. Second, it is perennial, bloom¬ 
ing better and more abundantly each 
season. Third, it can be multiplied rap¬ 
idly by simple division, and it is not par¬ 
ticular as to soil. Fourth, it blooms for 
several months. Fifth, the flowers are 
extremely large and graceful, averaging 
about four inches in diameter, with petals 
of the purest glistening whiteness, and arc 
borne on single, long, stiff, wiry stems. 
Sixth, the blooms when cut remain per¬ 
fectly fresh and in good condition for two 
weeks or more. No other flower can 
compare with it in usefulness. Each 20 
cents. 
DELPHINIUM 
Delphiniums or Larkspurs arc valuable 
plants. 
Formosum. A most brilliant deep 
blue, the finest blue flower known 
among our hardy plants. Each 
20 cents. 
Bee Larkspur. Interesting for the 
manner in which the petals are folded up in the center 
of each flower, so as to resemble a bee. Flowers of 
lighter shade than Delphinium formosum. Each 
20 cents.
