Neu Pyrethrum ‘ilar 
(Painted Daisies) 
These glorious new creations of Double 
Pyrethrum are taking the garden lovers 
by storm. Far surpass the older vari- 
eties in size, coloring, and splendor. 
Stocks are limited as vegetative propa- 
gation is the only means of keeping 
varieties true to type. We would sug- 
gest you order early if you wish to pro- 
cure the plants. Our plants are strong 
field grown plants that will give abund- 
ant bloom this season if planted early.

Brilliant. A promising new double—a 
rich shade of deep rose overcast with 
bright red. We like this variety very 
much. Good strong stems which are ex- 
cellent for cutting. Flowers are often 
four inches across and petals stand out 
gracefully—never drooping. A_ well 
grown established plant seen in full 
bloom is a sight» not soon forgotten.

Buckeye. An extra large double red 
with tufted center of deep rose. When 
well established the large flowers will 
completely cover the plant with color. 
Stems are strong and usually hold from 
5 to 9 very large flowers. One stem is 
a bouquet in itself. Each 40c, 3 for $1.00 
Florence Shedley. So far the only true 
light pink double painted daisy. Very 
double coral pink flowers shaded with 
lavender and flesh. The very tall stems 
support the beautiful flowers in aristo- 
cratic fashion. Will be loved by all.

James Kelway. A new English strain 
of large flowering single red. Many un- 
usual fine crimson shades with a cen- 
ter of deep gold. Extra long. strong

ting. We offer strong blooming size

Marion Plonske. New! Offered for sale 
for the first time. This new flower has 
an interesting history. In the spring of 
1936 we had a very large field of Pyre- 
thrum grown from the finest seed ob- 
tainable. Our growing nursery was 
crowded so we offered these painted 
daisies for sale locally in order to make 
room for other things. A doctor’s wife, 
Mrs. Plonske, bought a dozen of these 
plants in April and we heard no more 
from her until one day in June when an 
excited voice came over the phone for 
us to come over immediately because 
she had the most beautiful flower she 
had ever seen growing, blooming in her 
garden. We hurried over and there, 
lo and behold, was this beautiful single 
pink Pyrethrum in all its glory. Mrs. 
Plonske was so thrilled that she wanted 
us to have the plant for propagation so 
that others could enjoy it too. We told 
her that if it withstood a test of four 
years trial we would introduce it under 
her name. So now after four years of 
trial this beautiful single pink painted 
daisy is better than ever. Imagine a 
clear pearly pink daisy four inches in 
diameter with broad petals that stand 
out without drooping on strong stems 
about two feet high. If given good 
rich soil and plenty of water it will 
bloom during June and then again in 
the fall for five or six weeks. Each 65c, 
2 for 
Miami Queen. A fascinating new large 
semi-double variety with deep pink 
guard petals and a crested center of rich 
pink. We had two long rows of this 
variety in gorgeous bloom in our gar- 
dens last summer and all who saw them 
exclaimed of their unusual beauty. Very 
striking. From 7 to 9 flowers are pro- 
duced on the top of the strong stems 
making it the perfect cut flower. Will 
last ten days in water. Each 50c,

ular perennials for border and cutting 
purposes. Flowers of pink, red, and 
white in May and June and again in the 
fall. Our collection consists of many 
good single and double types in a fine 
range of colors. In mixtures only. Ex-

Snowcap. New! Offered for the first

perhaps the loveliest of the entire list.
