PYRETHRUM - Colored Marguerite or Painted Daisy 
They produce showy flowers of all shades of color, except blue and yel- 
low, freely on long stems throughout spring, which are of inestimable 
value for cutting. They grow in neat, compact tufts, and have elegant, 
finely cut foliage, which adds to the attractiveness of the plants. 
Culture. The best time to plant is in spring; early fall planting is also 
very successful. Grow them in groups of not less than three plants, 
planted a foot to 15 inches apart. 
Eileen May Robinson Each 85c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.75
