Che CNew English Htardy Rubellum Chrysanthemums 
At the Chrysanthemum Trials held by the Royal Horticultural Society in September, 1949, these 
beautiful varieties were honored with the AW’ ARD OF MERIT. They are of particularly neat habit, 
each plant forming into a symmetrical bush, which, when in full bloom—with its masses of flowers— 
appears as a delightful bouquet often three feet or more across. They are perfectly hardy and good 
perennials, ideal for border, bedding and cutting—a bunch of Duchess of Edinburgh remained in 
perfect condition in our office for over three weeks when cut last September. 
The cultivation of these Chrysanthemums may be summed up in one word: “Simplicity.” All that 
is necessary is a full sunny position and soil that has been dug with ordinary “garden care,” and, 
if possible, a little manure worked in. This latter is not absolutely necessary but for plants like 
these which produce such vast quantities of flowers within a few weeks of planting, this little extra 
care will insure magnificent results. 
Their complete hardiness is repeatedly stressed. Their perennial character is established—they 
are permanent plants—and will continue to add color and beauty to your garden year after year. 
Last but not least they do exceptionally well in such locations where there is a little shade and it 
is difficult to grow other flowers.

Giant, daisy-like flowers of soft Indian-copper-bronze with big golden 
yellow center. An outstanding variety. Produces immense quantities of 
flowers on a 3-foot plant which is often more than 3 feet across. 
Chrysanthemum hes 
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.

Collection—1 each of the above 7 varieties for $6.00. 
Shasta Daisy 
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. 
Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25, 100 $25.00 
Handsome plant, with large, glistening white blossoms in June and July. 
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. 
In a 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. 
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. 
Double Shasta Daisy 
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. 
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. 
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. 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
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% 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.
