PYRETHRUMS 
(Named Varieties) 
Pyrethrums are too well known. Therefore, it is 
not necessary to go into detailed descriptions. 
However, we cannot help but stress the point 
that the real good double and semi-double vari¬ 
eties will be considered unusual for a long time. 
For cutting purposes Pyrethrums are in a class 
by themselves and they are always striking in 
the better types of floral decorations. 
For Forcing 
These are best planted on benches under glass 
in the months of January and February in fairly 
heavy loamy soil in Carnation temperature and 
should be continuously kept moist. Forcing time 
required, 8 weeks. 
Also exceptional for outdoor culture to produce 
summer cut-flowers.

flowers on stems 24 to 30 inches in length.

Huntington's Scarlet. A strong grower; the finest single 
scarlet with a touch of gold in the center. Due to their 
exceptionally large size, the flowers are very striking and 
attract attention. We consider this variety so outstanding 
that it really deserves a place among the better Pyrethrums.
