order.

position. Best grown in groups of six or more. Not adapted for damp or 
heavy soils. Reptans does well in a shady location under trees. Plant in 
autumn or early spring about a foot apart. Divide and replant every 
third year.

PYRETHRUM - Colored Marguerite or Painted Daisy 
They produce showy flowers of all shades of color, except blue and yel- 
low, freely on long stems throughout spring, which are of inestimable 
value for cutting. They grow in neat, compact tufts, and have elegant, 
finely cut foliage, which adds to the attractiveness of the plants. 
Culture. Plenty of well-rotted manure should be freely mixed with the 
soil before planting. The position, too, must be a sunny one. The best 
time to plant is in spring; early fall planting is also very successful. Grow 
them in groups of not less than three plants, planted a foot to 15 inches 
apart. In dry weather give copious supplies of water. As soon as the first 
flowers have faded, cut the flowering stems back to their base. Every 
third year divide and replant in early spring.

Pink Bouquet Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00, 100 $30.00

as eight flowers, forming a bouquet in itself. The outer petals are deep 
rose-pink, while the center is made up of numerous small starlike white 
petals. The effect created is not unlike that of Anemone Chrysanthe- 
mums. Altogether a choice plant for the garden and superb for cutting.
