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 rootstocks every 
alternate year, then the plants will be more compact in growth 
and also yield much finer flowers than if left undisturbed. 
Double Shasta Daisies 
Aglaya Each $1.10, Three $2.75, Doz. $9.50 
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 $2.50, Doz. $8.00 
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 Read, which we 
have discontinued. 
Wirral Pride Each $1.10, Three $2.75, Doz. $9.50 
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.

Handsome plant, with large, glistening white blossoms in June and July.

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 beau- 
ties, 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.

With the introduction of Mark Riegel Daisy, we move another 
step forward. 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 smal! 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 frequently 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 
ornamental dark green foliage. It is the hardiest of the new 
Daisies and we consider it tops in every respect. 
Each $1.25, Three $3.35, Doz. $11.00
