DAISIES EVERY MONTH n
YEAR

In the mild climate of California and
some of the southern states, daisies
bloom all the year around.
In California these flowers grow
very much larger than those of the
East, as do all Pacific coast flowers:
but they seem to lack brilliancy. and
to many persons are not as satisfac-
tory.
Luther Burbank developed the Shas-
ia daisy to a very large and beautiful
flower and this is largely taking the
place of the Marguerite or Paris daisy
which has long been a favorite with
Californians.
In the colder climates. of course. il
is impossible to keep daisies bloom.
