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 Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25, 100 $25.00 
Handsome plant, with large, glistening white blossoms in June and July. 
Majestic Each 85c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.75 
We are more than pleased by the many words of praise trom 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 2 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 31% 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. 
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 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 21/2 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. 
Double Shasta Daisy, Mount Shasta 
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, Daisylike 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 Daisylike 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. 
CIMICIFUGA - Snakeroot 
Handsome, herbaceous perennials. They have large, palmate leaves, 
and small flowers borne in feathery racemes. | 
Culture. Grow in ordinary moist soil in colonies of six or more, in par- 
tially shaded borders or in open woods. Plant in autumn or spring, 8 to 
12 inches apart. 
Three $1.45, Doz. $4.50, 100 $20.00 
Racemosa ; 
Handsome shade-loving plant, bearing in July and August spikes of 
pure white flowers, 4 to 6 feet high; well suited for planting at the 
back of border, or for naturalizing at the edge of the woods. 
Simplex Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
This is one of the finest, if not the finest, of fall flowering plants. Its 
flower stems are 2 to 3 feet high, terminated with a dense plumelike 
spike of white flowers which, when cut, last in perfection a long time. 
As a garden plant it is hard to beat but its greatest asset is that it 
grows superbly in shade. We know of no other plant quite as useful for 
that purpose. The flowers are at their best from September to middle 
October, and it’s perfectly hardy anywhere. : 
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 chalky, 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, Azure Each 85c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.75 
Another fine hybrid of this worth-while border plant. Deep blue flowers 
in great profusion, sweetly scented. Hardy as an oak, no insect pests, 
oc well on any soil. Easily one of the best of summer-flowering border 
plants. ‘ 
Mandchurica Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50 
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.
