Pink Cushion Chrysanthemums 
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 | foot apart. It is advisable to 
lift and divide the root stocks every alternate year, then the plants will 
be more compact in growth and also yield much finer flowers than if 
left undisturbed.

CHRYSANTHEMUM ERUBESCENS 
Clara Curtis Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
The hundreds of single salmon-pink daisy-like flowers are about 3 
inches in diameter and are at their best in August and early Sep- 
tember. They are well arranged on short much-branched stems not 
over 12 to 18 inches high in such numbers that the plants look 
like small mounds of pink. They are perfectly hardy and bloom so 
early that the flowers are never damaged by frost. After a short 
rest period in the fall the plants may be dug up in early winter, 
potted, and forced into bloom by February and March. They make 
splendid pot plants. The habit of Chrysanthemum Clara Curtis is 
spreading. A two-year-old plant grows about 18 to 24 inches across. 
Last but not least, it is perfectly hardy anywhere and not particular 
as to soil or location.
