Shasta Daisy, Esther Read 
SHASTA DAISY Esther Read—Chrysanthemum Esther 
Read. A thrill will be yours when this blooms in your 
garden. The huge flowers of this first fully double Shasta 
Daisy are very lasting and are produced freely from June 
to Oct. on stiff 18 in. stems. An outstanding garden and 
cut flower of today. Each 60 cts.; 3 for $1.50. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM White Swan. The white flowers are 
formed much like those of Esther Read, but are smaller 
and more dainty, and stems are slender and wiry. Called 
Memorial Day Daisy because on that day one can usually 
cut 20 to 30 blooms from one plant. A delight in garden 
and cut. Visitors here love it. Cult., see Shasta Daisy.
