MARGUERITE

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 705 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARGUERITE , the popular name for the plant known botanically as Pyrethrum (or Chrysanthemum) frutescens (natural order
Compositae
 ), a shrubby perennial with smooth leaves cut pinnately into narrow segments and flower-heads two to three inches across produced singly in summer and autumn on slender erect stalks. The
white
  ray-florets surround a yellow disk. It is a native of the
Canary
  Isles, and a favourite for decoration and for greenhouse cultivation, - window-boxes and open ground in the summer. The yellow marguerite (Haile d'or) has somewhat larger
pale
  yellow
flowers
  and
glaucous
  leaves. The plant is propagated from cuttings taken in autumn from old
plants
  and placed in sandy loamy soil in cold frames. By pruning the shoots in autumn the
plants
  may be grown into very large specimens in the course of a few seasons.
