Chrysanthemum Maximum 
SHASTA DAISY 
’ Hardy perennials of easy culture, and especially noteworthy for their freedom in flowering. There are two dis- 
tinct 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 
I 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.

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 overlap, come in a double row, are long and 
curve slightly at the tips. The center is very small and soft canary-yel- 
low. Stems are thin and rigid, about 2 to 3 feet long. As many as 15 to 
20 flowers to a plant at one time. Flowers frequently measure 4 to 5 
inches across, and 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 unfavorabie 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 4 inches across. A double row of overlapping guard petals en- 
hances 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 is a top notch plant, a healthy, vigorous grower and a 
great improvement over Esther Read, 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. 
Wirral Pride Each $1.10, Three $2.75, Doz. $7.50 
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. 
Pompon and Button Chrysanthemums 
One of the outstanding advantages of Pompon and Button Chrysanthemums is their usefulness as 
cut flowers. Their prim blooms are composed of stiff, short petals which enables them to withstand 
bad weather much better than their shaggy brothers and sisters. When cut they last longer. The 
list offered here contains all the best varieties of recent introduction. They are all strong growers 
and have fine stiff stems.
