Dedham, Mass, PRICE LIST 

This season | am issuing an abbreviated list of worthwhile flowers for vour ConeTteretioman Sie 
last summer was the driest | have ever experienced, | was unable to increase the stock of some of my 
originations. 1 am introducing for 1950 a new semi-double Shasta Daisy Jersey Cream and, again, 
1 am able to offer the Pyrethrum, Lady Phyllis. 

SHASTA DAISY—JERSEY CREAM—It is with some trepidation that | add this new daisy to the rather 
extensive list of outstanding varieties now on the market. However, it is really beautiful. It grows two 
feet or more tall. The blossoms are medium size (32 to -4 inches) with several rows of laciniated petals. 
The buds are a deep cream, reminiscent of the cream from the milk of a Jersey cow. It is the best of 
several double cream varieties, although | have a small single daisy which is lemon yellow. It is a cross 
between G. Marconi and this small yellow single. Last summer Jersey Cream bloomed continuously from 
late June until late September. 
Price: large divisions while they last 
$1 each, 3 for $2.50 
PYRETHRUM—LADY PHYLLIS—Once more | believe | have sufficient stock of the large rose-pink double 
Pyrethrum to offer for sale. While there are others of similar color, Lady Phyllis is an exceptionally 
robust growing plant. Many of the double Pyrethrums have weak stems but in this variety the stems 
are as sturdy as those of the best singles. Like all Pyrethrum the deep color on opening fades but this 
fading enhances Lady Phyllis. It is an excellent cut flower lasting nearly two weeks. I am offering 
two-year old plants as | was not able to divide them last year. 
Plants 85c each, 3 for $2.25 

PYRETHRUM—MIXED—I am offering a choice mixture of single and double varieties. The singles are 
Robinson Hybrids and all the doubles are selections from my trial patch which, for various reasons, | 
have decided not to name. 
Price: 6 for $2.50 (not less than 6 sold) 
SHASTA DAISIES—With the exception of my new introduction, Jersey Cream, | am offering only one 
additional variety. 
MAJESTIC—This is different from any other Shasta in that it has a very small yellow center and has 
long narrow petals. 
Price: large size 75c each, 3 for $2 
HEUCHERA—Elfin Bells (1946)—One of the finest Heucheras (Coral Bells). The dainty blossoms are quite 
large and while opening a delightful old rose soon fades to an exquisite shade of pink. The leaves 
are glossy, dark green, and considerably larger than the ordinary type; grows 28 inches tall. 
Price: large plants 75c each 
DELPHINIUMS—Seedlings—These are from my own ‘hand-pollinated seed and are the result of crosses 
between seedlings raised from seed of Pacific Hybrids, the Lyondel strain, and my own selected plants. 
As in the past, | am only offering seedlings: as they “transplant easily and, if set out in April, give much 
better results the first season than older plants. 
, Price: Mixed colors, 3-inch pots, $3 dozen 
(State preference whether light or dark) 
White, $3 dozen

hardy. No plants will be shipped until the latter part of May and will be pinched back at least once.

Pink—Early Wonder (pompom); Psyche (large single); Betty; Allegro; Mrs. du Pont (peach); September
