Double African Daisy

tively short flowering period, these new Double Hybrids will stay 
in bloom twice as long; in fact, they show flowers when only a few 
inches high until they are killed by frost. This Mixture ranges in 
color from a deep salmon-orange to white, with many lemon and 
biscuit shades. A plant measures about 14 inches in diameter and 
grows 8 inches tall. Individual flowers average 134 inches and have 
1-inch crested centers. This new strain produces approximately 65 
per cent double-crested plants, with an additional percentage of 
semi-doubles. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts.
