cutting and most attractive in the garden. Twenty to thirty 
flowers on 24- to 30-inch stems in bloom Memorial Day. 
Every year hundreds of SO-CALLED NOVELTIES are 
offered us for introduction. In our two-year field tests, 
we find that the greatest number of them are of no 
particular value, and are without merit. Offered on 
these two pages are plants which have made good in 
our nursery as well as in several "Test Gardens" all 
over the country. 
We recommend them to you without hesitation as 
the better things for 1938. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM MAXIMUM 
Phyllis Elliott 
A large daintily frilled Shasta Daisy which grows about 2 feet 
tall. The flowers are formed by a triple row of narrow frilled 
petals, flared and laciniated at the tip, and are about 3 Vi 
inches across. Excellent for the hardy border and makes a 
dainty cut flower. 
Silver Star 
Possibly the largest Shasta Daisy in cultivation. Small pale yel¬ 
low center with several rows of wide pure white petals. Medium 
height, about 2 Vi feet. Flowers grow on single stems, making it 
exceptionally fine for cutting. One of the latest Chrysanthemum 
Maximum to bloom. Flowers late in July and throughout August. 
If faded flowers are removed will bloom throughout September 
and into October. 
FUCHSIA 
Magellanica 
This most interesting shrub came to us from the New York 
Botanic Garden where it has proven entirely hardy. Blooms all 
summer long until stopped by frost. The ruby-red pendulant 
flowers are produced by the hundreds, flowering just as freely in 
full sun as in light shade. A most interesting plant for the 
flower border or rock garden where it fits in perfectly, blooming 
all summer. Does well in shady locations. 
GAILLARDIA 
Sun God Improved 
Here we have one of the greatest of garden flowers. The plants 
are of neat, upright growth. The foliage is a fine gray-green. 
The stems are 2 feet or more topped with magnificent chamois- 
yellow flowers. It is a real acquisition. Blooms the entire sum¬ 
mer no matter how hot or dry the weather. A wonderful garden 
plant and handsome cut flower. 
Ruby and Mr. Sherbrook are two new varieties well worth while.
