Daisy

Daisy (Bellis) - B. perennis needs only simple culture, increases rapidly, and in the spring garden is of great service in large clumps or masses. Growers adhere most closely to the old flat-petalled white and the old quilled red, but besides these there are the flat-petalled Pink Beauty, a charming pink of the quilled class; Rob Roy, a deep rich red or crimson quilled kind; White Globe, with large white quilled petals, and many others. Of the yellow-blotched or Aucuba-leaved kinds, one, aucubfoelia is pretty, but rather tender. It will do well in winter on a free porous soil, and in summer in a cool shady border, if transplanted there. The giant or crown-flowered Daisies, though vigorous, are much less free. of bloom. They are best suited for mixed borders.

Propagation is simple, and may be done in spring and autumn. Pull the plants to pieces, dibbling them in six inches apart, or a little closer.
