Shasta Daisy, Esther Reed. 
TEUCRIUM, Chamaedrys (Germander). 
This little perennial evergreen herb is most 
effective when used as a low clipped hedge 
around rose beds or herb gardens. Leaves area 
little larger than boxwood but the plants, 
which make much more rapid growth, are quite 
hardy and require no protection unless in an 
exposed place. Very effective, too, in clumps 
among showy low-growing perennial flowers. 
45c each; 3 for $1.15; Doz. $3.90.
