TARTARIAN ASTERS. 



Yellow leaves are drifting through 

 the air under a sombre gray sky, a 

 few last roses of summer are still lin- 

 gering on their bushes. Frost has 

 blackened the dahlias. The garden is 

 going to sleep for the winter and will 

 soon be tucked under its covering of 

 good brown earth and leaves. But the 

 flowers have not all gone. Pansies 

 and violas are still bringing up their 

 thoughts and stretching high above 

 the brown soil are the beautiful Tar- 

 tarian asters, lifting their mauve and 

 yellow blossoms six or seven feet in 

 air. 



A dozen plants which were planted 

 three or four years a^o by the wood 

 road at Hillcrest have multiplied so 

 that we now have them between two 

 boulders in the wild garden and also 

 on the wood road where they grow in 

 half shade and will we hope hold their 

 blossoms till November. 



A good illustration of these asters 

 was given in a former number of Ad- 

 disonia, which has such beautiful pic- 

 tures of the flowers growing in the 

 Botanical Gardens in Bronx Park.

SHOW TO BE HELD AT ARDMORE. 



The Pennsylvania Horticultural So- 

 ciety has been unable to secure a hall 

 in Philadelphia in which to hold the 

 Annual Kxhibition and Chrysanthe- 

 mum Show. It has therefore been de- 

 elded to hold the exhibition in Masonic 

 Hall, Ardmore, Penn., on November 4 

 and 5. 



All plants are to be delivered at Ma- 

 sonic Hall on Monday, November 3, 

 and must be placed in position before 

 6 p. m. 



Cut flowers of chrysanthemums are 

 to be staged on Tuesday morning, No- 

 vember 4, before 12 noon. 



Fruits and vegetables are to be 

 staged Tuesday afternoon, November 

 4, by 6 p. m. 



Cut flowers of roses, carnations and 

 sweet peas, are to be staged on Wed- 

 nesday morning, November 5th, before 

 12 noon. 



All entries must be received at the 

 office of the society, 606 Finance Build- 

 ing, Phladelphia, by 12 noon, on Satur- 

 day, November 1st. This rule will be 

 strictly adhered to, as the committee 

 of arrangements will have limited 

 space to work with, and cannot change 

 their plan of staging exhibits, after it 

 has been adopted.
