Che CNew English Hardy Rubellum Chrysanthemums 
{t the Chrysanthemum Trials held by the Royal Horticultural Society in September, 1949, these 
beautiful varieties were honored with the AV 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.

WINTER HARDY 
CHRYSANTHEMUM 
RUBELLUM 
Clara Curtis 
This was introduced several years 
ago and has proven to be one of 
the finest of perennial plants. 
The hundreds of single salmon- 
pink daisy-like flowers are about 
3 inches in diameter and are at 
their best in August and early Sep- 
tember. 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 Chrysanthe- 
mum Clara Curtis is spreading. 
A two-year-old plant grows about 
18 to 24 inches across. Last but 
not least, it is perfectly hardy any- 
where and not particular as to soil 
or location.

Chrysanthemum Haximum 
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 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65, 100 $28.00 
Handsome plant, with large, glistening white blossoms in June and July. 
Mark Riegel Each $1.25, Three $3.05, Doz. $9.50 
With the introduction of Mark Riegel Daisy, we move another step for- 
ward. First of all, its flowers have a distinct form. The broad 
glistening white petals which overlap, come in a double row, are long 
and curve slightly at the tips. The center of the flower is very small and 
soft canary-yellow. Stems are thin and rigid and about 2 to 3 feet long. 
As many as 15 to 20 flowers to a plant at one time. Flowers fre- 
quently measure 4 to 5 inches across, and will last longer than any 
other Daisy we have ever grown. 
The plants are compact, forming a tight neat clump with long orna- 
mental dark green foliage. It is the hardiest of the new Daisies and we 
consider it tops in every respect. 
i ea : Majestic Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
: aS 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. To sum up 
its good points: It has wonderful large flowers; straight, long stems for 
cutting; is a healthy, strong, vigorous grower; blooms medium early. 
Double Shasta Daisy 
Aglaya Each $1.10, Three $2.75, Doz. $7.50 
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 95c, Three $2.35, Doz. $7.00 
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.

18 to 24 inches high.
