The Shasta Daisy
rHERU are Few flowers that bloom in mid-summer, during [December and January that are , so showy as the shasta daisy, a present to us from Japan, the 1 land of daisy flowers. As with all flowers, the size of the blossoms is regulated by the way in j which the plant is grown. Good culture will be rewarded with ] enor.nous blooms of exquisite texture, ] upon stalks two or more feet in length. These daisies do well in the ordinary border, but they respond effectively to liberal treatment —a well dug, richly manured, somewhat moist site, for instance, with liquid supplies on a generous scale during dry weather. They increase rapidly, and the smallest piece of root will quickly grow into a large clump. The plants should receive a good thinning each year, and an occasional division of roote. Shasta daisies can be raised from seeds sown either in boxes under glass early in the season, or outdoors from October onwards.
