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 $1.50, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
Handsome plant, with large, glistening white blossoms in June and July. 
Edgebrook Giant Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
This new Shasta Daisy, we believe, has qualities not possessed by any 
other variety. It is a giant in size—probably the largest we have ever 
flowered. Immense 6- to 7-inch blooms in great profusion. On 26-inch, 
straight stems. Overlapping, closely set petals. Flat and form holding. 
In a variety test, some years ago, with very unfavorable soil conditions, 
many varieties died out completely while Edgebrook Giant came through 
without the loss of a sing!e plant. While the blooms of Edgebrook Giant 
are wonderful in size and appearance, one of its greatest qualities is its 
everblooming habit. F 
Majestic Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
We are more than pleased by the many words of praise from our many 
customers who have grown it. It is a hardy resistant grower, withstand- 
ing unfavorable conditions. Its immense white flowers are real beauties, 
5 to 6 inches in diameter with a small yellow center. Has a double row 
of straight and overlapping petals making the flowers full and compact, 
giving it great value in floral designs and bouquets. The petals are very 
stiff with no drooping. Has 28- to 30-inch straight stems. We believe 
it is one of the best cut-flower varieties introduced. To sum up its good 
points: !t has wonderful large flowers; straight, long stems for cutting; 
is a healthy, strong, vigorous grower; is very hardy; blooms medium early. 
Mayfield Giant Each 65c, Three $1.85, 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 $1.75, Doz. $5.00 
A large daintily frilled Shasta Daisy wnich 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. 
Double Shasta Daisy 
Mount Shasta Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
The pure white, fully double flowers have a high crested center and 
average four inches across or more. A double row of overlapping guard 
petals enhances 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. 
Marconi Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Fully double frilled flowers on stiff stems, which are exceptionally good 
for cutting. This is the largest of the frilled double Shasta Daisies. 
It is not unusual to grow flowers 4 inches or better across. 
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) Each 60c, Three $1.75, 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. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM, “ASTRID” (Imperial) 
Astrid is a hybrid of the extremely hardy species, C. Arcticum, and the 
first hybrid of this variety to be introduced. The single, Daisy-like flow- 
ers are three inches or more in diameter, and are a lovely shade of shell- 
pink, warmed with old rose tints, with a bright yellow center. The plants 
have attractive light green foliage, not bothered by diseases or insects. 
It is the hardiest hybrid Daisy we know of, having come through the past 
severe winters without protection and without damage. 
Each 55c, Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 

CHRYSANTHEMUM ERUBESCENS 
Clara Curtis Each 55c, Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75 
The hundreds of single salmon-pink Daisy-like flowers are about 3 
inches in diameter and are at.their best in August and early Septem- 
ber. 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.

Cypripedium Spectabile 
CLEMATIS, Dwarf - Shrubby Clematis 
Here we deal only with the herbaceous species, the stems of which die 
down in autumn, and that are of a bushy and non-climbing habit. 
Those offered are suitable for the mixed border, and make a very 
effective display when in flower. 
Culture. They prefer a chaiky, well-drained loam. Where this is not 
available, mix plenty of lime with the soil. Plant in autumn or spring. 
In autumn cut the stems back to the soil, and give a good mulching 
of well-decayed manure. 
Davidiana, Profusion Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Another fine hybrid of this worth-while border plant. Deep blue flowers 
in great profusion, sweetly scented. Hardy as an oak, no insect pests, 
does well on any soil. Easily one of the best of summer-flowering border 
plants. sf 
Mandchurica Each 60c, Three $1.75, Doz. $5.00 
Here we have an exceptionally good plant for cutting. When established 
this variety will send up in July spikes about 3 feet high which are 
superb for cutting. The white, fragrant flowers are loosely spaced on 
wiry branches and mix nicely with other cut flowers. In the hardy border 
it grows into a large, graceful clump that blends well with other plants. 
It is an iron-clad plant. Nothing bothers it and it will withstand the 
lowest temperatures encountered in this country. 
Recta 
Discontinued in favor of C. Mandchurica.

COREODPSIS - Tickseed 
A useful and attractive herbaceous perennial, both for border and cut 
flowers. They are of easy culture, and produce their golden yellow 
flowers in profusion throughout the summer. 
Culture. All require a well-drained, medium soil. They also need a full, 
sunny position. Plant in autumn or early spring, 10 to 12 inches apart. 
Grandiflora Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00

mer literally by the hundreds; a rare bulbous plant for the rockery or 
shady place in front of the border. 
CYPRIPEDIUM - Lady’s Slipper 
Hardy orchids that thrive in a moist, peaty soil in shade or partial shade. 
Flowers are very interesting with their odd shapes and uncommon colors 
and markings. 
Culture. It is required for best results that they be planted in shade 
in peaty soil, such as one finds in woods or swamps. Should be carefully 
watered during dry weather. Do well along streams or small ponds in 
the rock garden. Plant in fall or early spring 6 to 8 inches apart. Do 
not disturb, once planted.
