DIENER'S NEW ALL-DOUBLE SHASTA DAISY SEEDS 
SHASTA DAISIES 
For the last ten years the Shasta Daisies have had 
special attention and the results are very gratifying. 
We believe we have at present the largest and finest 
double and single Shasta Daisies in existence, all of 
our own production. The majority of them are of 
the much preferred Chiffon type, which has made 
a sensation with our customers. 
Many people do not realize that such great ad¬ 
vancement has been made with this wonderful flower. 
You should grow all you can, as plants and flowers 
sell easily. If you have had seed from us several 
years ago, the varieties we had then have all been 
discarded. The seeds now are all from the latest im¬ 
proved varieties. 
DIENER'S NEW GIANT DOUBLE EVERFLOWERING 
SHASTA DAISY. "G. MARCONI" 
Of all the thousands of Shasta Daisies we have 
raised the last few years this variety is the most 
highly perfected in size, shape and growth. It is 
equally valuable and is unsurpassed for home garden 
beautification, cut flowers in the home, or when 
grown commercially. As it flowers continuously in 
climates where it is not damaged by frosts. Or it 
can be grown for winter cut flowers under glass in 
cold climates. For this purpose we would recommend 
the young rooted cuttings out of 3-inch pots. 
Seeds sold in 40 seed packets only.

Directions for Sowing: Sow the Shasta Daisy seeds in a cold 
frame in light soil containing some sand. Cover the seeds very 
lightly with the same soil, just enough to cover them, and keep 
moist. Shade the seed bed with either cheesecloth or muslin 
until they are up. When large enough to handle, plant them 
in the open in well fertilized ground twelve to fifteen inches 
apart. In localities where it is very cold it is advisable to 
cover them with straw or leaves during the cold weather. In 
the second year the flowers reach perfection.
