MISCELLANEOUS ANNUALS-Continued 
^DAHLBORG DAISY 
160,000 S. per oz. 
From our trial ground experience with this little-known annual 
the past season, we can’t recommend it too strongly as a dwarf 
border and edging plant. Plants reached a height of 6 to 8 in. 
and a spread of 12 to 15 in. Flowered freely and continuously from 
the time it was transplanted into flats from the seed bed until cut 
down by frost. Flowers are small, single and golden yellow and 
produced well above foliage. Its small, freely produced flowers and 
finely-cut foliage give the plant a very distinctly fine-textured ap¬ 
pearance that makes it outstanding. Comes absolutely true. See 
novelty list on page 2 for further description. Seed of irregular 
and slow germination; our liberal trade packets should produce 
several hundred seedlings however.
