DOUBLE PYRETHRUM 
PYRETHRUM (Py-rce # -thrum)—Painted Daisy 
Pyrethrums have been called the spring blooming Chrys¬ 
anthemum and we think that the newer sorts are a very 
close rival of that popular flower. As a cut flower for 
Memorial Day they certainly have no superior. If not 
allowed to seed there will be scattered blooms all sum¬ 
mer, although these as well as the first flowers after 
transplanting, are apt to be single. All are propagated 
vegetatively and are guaranteed true to name. 
We have in our collection more than fifty separate varie¬ 
ties of named Pyrethrum, but for several years have been 
unable to propagate them fast enough to keep up with 
the demand. Therefore, we have only the following small 
group to offer this season: 
Brilliant —A very brilliant red, fully double. 
Buckeye —Deep rose, very double. 
Excelsior —Tall grower, large deep rose. 
Florence Shadley —Very fine double rich pink. 
Glory of the Midnight Sun —Very double deep Bengal rose 
with lighter center. 
Martinique —Very tall light lavender pink. 
Marvel —Delicate hydrangea pink. A double quilled sort. 
Miami Queen —Light delicate pink of large size. 
Mignon —Small very double rose-pink pompon. Exquisite. 
Queen Mary —Very large semi-double silvery pink. 
Saturn —Very large rose red, comet flowered. 
The Pearl —Purest white pompon. 
Extract from December 1937 Flower Grower: “ . . . and 
do not overlook The Pearl, a lovely pure white pompon. 
It will do things to your cut flower arrangements.”— C. 
W. Wood (Mich.)
