Hardy Rubellum Chrysanthemums 
At 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. Culture: same as 
Shasta Daisy. 
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, so early that they are 
never damaged by frost. They are 
well arranged on short much- 
branched stems not over 12 to 18 
inches high in such numbers that 
the plants look like solid mounds 
of pink. After a short rest period 
in the fall the plants may be dug 
up in early winter, potted, and 
forced into bloom in February and 
turning to almost white remain in perfect condi- Princess Margaret

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 | 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 it 
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. 
Majestic Each $1.00, Three $2.55, Doz. $7.25 
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 vellow 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. 
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. 
It is not unusual to grow flowers 4 inches or better across on stems 
18 to 24 inches high.

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. It is per- 
fectly hardy anywhere and not par- 
ticular as to soil or location.

Double Shasta Daisy, Mount Shasta 
Wirral Pride 
A fine, vigorously growing and very profusely flowering Shasta Daisy 
from England. Flowers are usually 3 to 4 inches in diameter, heavily 
crested with short white petals in the center which produce a fine 
double effect. It has given excellent results here in Mentor and we 
recommend it without reservation.
