Cheiranthus Allioni 
Shasta Daisy, Alaska 
CHEIRANTHUS - Siberian Wallflower 
Hardy plants similar to the Wallflower. They are highly esteemed for 
the delicious fragrance of their flowers, also for the fact of their flow¬ 
ering so profusely in spring and early summer. 
Culture. Plant in ordinary well drained light garden soil in full sun. 
Soil which is heavy or wet will not do as plants are easily winter-killed 
if planted in low, wet ground. Plant early autumn or early spring, 6 
to 8 inches apart. Fall planted plants should be lightly protected dur¬ 
ing the winter. 
©Allioni Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00 
A beautiful garden plant. Dazzling fiery orange flowers on stems about 
1 foot high. Best used as a biennial as it frequently blooms itself to 
death. Must be planted early in the season to enable it to become well 
established before flowering time. 
Golden Bedder Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00 
Same in habit and form as Allioni except that the flowers are light 
yellow blending well with tulips of the more delicate shades. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM MAXIMUM - Shasta Daisy 
Hardy perennials of easy culture, and especially noteworthy for their 
freedom in flowering. There are two distinct types of this genus. 
One is the Shasta Daisy, which bears large, white flowers on long stems, 
and is, therefore, invaluable for cutting, and the other is the Leucan- 
themum, the Daisy of our meadows. It grows 2 feet high, and bears 
white flowers freely from June to August. Maximum (Shasta Daisy) 
is a European species, and the parent of a number of very beautiful 
varieties. 
Culture. The Shasta Daisies require a deep, rich soil to grow them 
to perfection. In poor soils they soon assume a weedy aspect. They 
must have a sunny position. They should be planted 1 foot apart. It 
is advisable to lift and divide the root stocks every alternate year, then 
the plants will be more compact in growth and also yield much finer 
flowers than if left undisturbed. Uliginosum, being a tall grower, should 
be grown in wide borders or massed in the wild garden. Plant in fall 
or spring. 
Alaska Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00
