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 stocks every alternate year, then the plants will 
be more compact in growth and also yield much finer flowers than if 
left undisturbed. 
Alaska Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
Handsome plant, with large, glistening white blossoms in June and July. 
Mayfield Giant Each 65c, Three $1.75, Doz. $5.50 
A lovely, strong growing and free-flowering Shasta Daisy of recent in- 
troduction. If old flowers are removed when faded this variety will bloom 
throughout the summer. True form grown from cuttings. 
Phyllis Elliott Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A large daintily frilled Shasta Daisy which grows about 2 feet tall. The 
flowers are formed by a triple row of narrow frilled petals, flared and 
laciniated at the tip, and are about 314 inches across. Excellent for the 
hardy border and makes a dainty cut flower. 
Silver Star Each 65c, Three $1.75, Doz. $5.50 
Possibly the largest Shasta Daisy in existence. Small pale yellow center 
with several rows of wide pure white petals. Medium height, about 21/2 
feet. Flowers grow on single stems, making it exceptionally fine for cut- 
ting. One of the latest Chrysanthemum Maximum to bloom. Flowers 
late in July and throughout August. If faded flowers are removed, will 
bloom throughout September and into October. 
Double Shasta Daisy 
Mount Shasta Each 65c, Three $1.75, Doz. $6.50 
The pure white fully double flowers have a high crested cen- 
ter and average four inches across or more. A double row of 
overlapping guard petals enhance the beauty of this fine 
double Daisy. The flowers come singly on stiff 24-inch stems 
from spring until frost. Especially fine for cutting. Mount 
Shasta in our opinion is a top notch plant, a healthy vigorous 
grower and a great improvement over Esther Reed which 
we have discontinued. 

CHRYSANTHEMUM LEUCANTHEMUM 
These are the cultivated forms of the very hardy small field Daisies. 
Noted particularly for their early as well as profuse flowering. 
White Swan (Double Daisy) Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
This Daisy is also known as the Double White Memorial Day Daisy. The 
two most popular types of Shasta Daisy for garden use are the Max- 
imum, large flowered, and Leucanthemum, the small flowered form. 
White Swan is a very fine small flowered double variety. Its blooms are 
somewhat larger than Pyrethrums; pure white and fully double, excel- 
lent for cutting and most attractive in the garden. Twenty to thirty 
flowers on 24- to 30-inch stems in bloom Memorial Day. 
Hardy plants are sold in minimum units of three 
unless an each price is quoted.
