This is the popular florists' Marguerite, which can be had in flower the year round, but is especially grown for winter bloom. Var. grandiflorum, Hort., is the large-fld. prevailing form. The lemon-colored form seems to have originated about 1880. Under this name an entirely distinct species has also been passing, yet it has never been advertised separately in the American trade.
