than foot in circumference and with
three or more rows Of petals OF purest
white. it is as yet merely beautiful cur
iosity, but before long 1t is likely to find
Its way into general cultivation. The new
daisy is very hardy, easily grown and an
extremely free bloomer. 1t has been named
the Shasta daisy" and the grower who
originated It. Luther Burbank, says that
It was obtained by crossing the common
American field daisy with the Japanese
and European kinds The flowers when
cut remain perfectly fresh and in good con-
dition for two weeks or more. It Is likely
to become very popular for decorative pur-
poses.
