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. 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. 
Eileen May Robinson Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50 
A magnificent free flowering single pink. Flowers are large and sub- 
stantial, as big as Shasta Daisies. The plants are rapid growers and 
make a bold show in the garden as well as handsome cut flowers. 
Florence Shadley Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50 
Fully double, exceptionally large flowers of a delicate shell-pink on 
stems 30 inches tall. This variety is a very strong grower and blooms 
freely, but like all other Double Pyrethrums quite often a few single 
and semi-double flowers are produced the first year when plants are 
not yet fully established. Florence Shadley is considered one of the 
best for cut flower purposes.

for cutting or the hardy border. 
Purity Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50

a most valuable plant. Few white flowers are available when Purity is

copper mixed. The stems are stiff, 3 feet high, foliage clean and

anywhre as long as the location is sunny. An established plant will

borders. The flowers are borne in spikes, racemes or panicles; and are

Vatican Variety (Sclerea) 
Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50, 100 $30.00

in Rome, where it is used in great masses for “cool’’ effects. The plants 
have woolly silvery green leaves of considerable beauty. The flower 
stalks are 3 feet tall and covered with showy whorls of lavender-pink 
and white iridescent flowers which create a delightful cool, yet colorful 
effect. In bloom all summer from mid-June until early October.
