Cypripedium Acaule 
CHRYSANTHEMUM MAXIMUM £- Shasta Daisy 
Hardy perennials of easy culture, and especially noteworthy for their 
freedom in flowering. There are two distinct types of this genus. One 
is the Shasta Daisy, which bears large, white flowers on long stems, and 
is, therefore, invaluable for cutting, and the other is the Leucanthemum, 
the Daisy of our meadows, 
Culture. The Shasta Daisies require a deep, rich soil. They must have a 
sunny position. They should be planted 1 foot apart. It is advisable to 
lift and divide the root sto~ks every alternate year, then the plants will 
be more compact in growth and also yield much finer flowers than if 
left undisturbed.
