MATRICARIA (Capensis Feverfew) 
_ 145,000 s. 
*Ball Double White. Since introducing this strain in ’34, de¬ 
mand for it is constantly increasing as a standard greenhouse 
and outdoor cut flower crop. Plants from a midsummer sowing 
transplanted indoors in November produce a fine spring green¬ 
house crop. Differs from ordinary cutting propagated strain 
in having smaller and more compact completely double flowers 
that hold up much better in shipping and handling. Re¬ 
sponds readily to additional lighting for forcing.
