PYRETHRUM (PAINTED DAISIES) 
No other perennial flower seems to have the general 
usefulness, beauty, color, hardiness and easy culture that 
belongs to these gorgeous flowers. Foliage is fernlike

transplant easily and each one produces a liberal num- 
ber of blooms during the season. 
ROBINSON’S HYBRIDS, RED AND SCARLET, ....................... 80 50 
A really great new strain. We think so much of it 
that we have discontinued growing any of the others. 
Plants are exceptionally strong growers, produce long 
stems and the flowers are larger than were the older 
varieties. We cannot adequately describe the superb 
colorings which appear in this magnificent — strain. 
They run the range from deepest red to brighest scar- 
let. For color in beds, borders or massing we can say 
they stand supreme. Use them in bright pottery vases 
and you’ll thrill at the colorfulness of your floral ar- 
rangements.
