Chrysanthemum Wa 
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 | 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 Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25, 100 $25.00 
Handsome plant, with large, glistening white blossoms in June and July. 
Edgebrook Giant Each 85c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.75 
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. 
Ina 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 single plant. While the blooms of Edgebrook Giant 
are wonderful in size and appearance, one of its greatest qualities is its 
everblooming habit. 
Majestic Each 85c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.75 
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: It has wonderful large flowers; straight, long stems for cutting; 
is a healthy, strong, vigorous grower; is very hardy; blooms medium early. 
Phyllis Elliott Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50 
A large, daintily frilled Shasta Daisy which 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 
Aglaya Each 85c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.75 
A splendid, large, double-flowered Shasta Daisy. It is a sturdy grower 
and perfectly hardy. The flowers are double and have fringed petals. 
After its main early crop of blooms, it continues to produce flowers ‘ . 
practically throughout the entire season. Chrysanthemum Erubescens, Clara Curtis | 
Mount Shasta Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 ; 
The pure white, fully double flowers have a high crested center and Double Shasta Daisy, Mount Shasta 
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 85c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.75 
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 on stems 
18 to 24 inches high. 
White Giant Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
This new Double Shasta Daisy might well be called the finest of the 
double Shastas. The flowers are so completely double they give the 
appearance of a white Pompon. The flowers lack nothing in size, they 
are about 214 inches in diameter and when fully open about 11% inches 
high, built up of -layer upon layer of petals. Established plants produce 
from 10 to 15 stiff stalks which are 18 to 24 inches tall. As a cut 
flower there is nothing much better and as a garden plant nothing more 
could be desired. 
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 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25 
CHRYSANTHEMUM ERUBESCENS 
Clara Curtis Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25 
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. l
