Painted Daisies 
Double Prurethium 
Years ago this nursery was located 
on the main highway leading to a ceme- 
tery. Memorial Day always found us in 
short supply of flowers. To fill this need 
we began growing Pyrethrum from seed. 
Everybody who has ever done this work 
knows good double flowers are as rare 
as hen’s teeth. Thousands of plants were 
grown and discarded—singles and poor 
colors. Over the years a few really good 
double kinds were developed. These have 
been increased by dividing until now we 
have good stocks of the earlier ones. 
In addition to those of our own origin- 
ating, we have obtained about every va- 
riety we have ever heard of from other 
nurserymen until now we believe we 
have the largest number of varieties and 
biggest acreage of any grower in this 
part of the world. Many varieties are 
still in too short supply to list here, but 
we invite all those who can do so to call 
next season and see them while in 
bloom. 
Painted Daisies start growth early in 
spring so we urge you to get orders in 
early. They are the most difficult of all 
plants to pack for long distance ship- 
ment and require special handling or 
special delivery, so if you live east of the 
Rocky Mountains we must ask you to 
add fifteen per cent to the price of the 
plant to help pay this extra expense. 
Orders received too late for spring de- 
livery will be filled after the plants 
have bloomed next summer. 
All those listed here are fully double 
with stems up to thirty inches tall. 
Flowers run about three to four inches 
across. All are hardy and heavy produc- 
ers. Should be moved and divided every 
five years. They are heavy feeders and 
will bloom until frost if flowers are 
kept cut, plants watered and fertilized. 
Be eareful with the water—they rot eas- 
ily. Our plants are heavy, strong di- 
visions from mother plants, or one year 
in the field. 
Purity. Clean white with rounded cen- 
ter petals faintly tinted cream. 40c. 
Phyllis. Light and medium pink with 
the high crown having some cream pink. 
40c. 
Pauline. More of a ball type than 
Purity and Phyllis. Medium shade of red 
with orange tones and the first one to 
bloom. 50c. 
Phillip. An extra strong grower with a 
deep red color and finely cut center 
petals tipped golden. 40c.
