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 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65, 100 $28.90 
Handsome plant, with large, glistening white blossoms in June and July. 
Majestic Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
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 !arge flowers; straight, long stems for cutting; 
is a healthy, strong, vigorous grower; very hardy; 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.

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. 
Marconi Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
Fully double frilled flowers on stiff stems, which are exceptionally good 
for cutting. This is the largest of the frilled double Shasta Daisies.

18 to 24 inches high. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM RUBELLUM 
Clara Curtis Each 85c. Three $2.10, Doz. $6.25

inches in diameter and are at their best in August and ecrly 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.
