beautiful varieties were honored with the AWARD 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.
