FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES 



Yes. First on the list I would name the Aster. 

 This sturdy annual is seldom at its best before the 

 first frosts, and can be considered in its prime 

 during the first half of October. And it will last 

 until cold weather sets in. 



Ten Week Stock— the "Gillyflower" of 

 grandmother's garden — ^is a late bloomer. The 

 snows of November often find it full of flowers, 

 and are powerless to injure it. It is delightfully 

 fragrant, and particularly adapted to cutting, 

 because of its long spikes of bloom. It comes in 

 white, rosy-purple, red, and sulphur-yellow. 



The Marguerite Carnation deserves a place in 

 every garden because of its great beauty, and its 

 late-flowering habit. While not all the plants 

 grown from seed will give double flowers, a large 

 share of them will be so, and in form, size, and 

 color they will compare very favorably with the 

 greenhouse varieties of this favorite flower. 

 Most of them will have the true Carnation fra- 

 grance. For choice little bouquets, for home use, 

 or to give your especial friends nothing can be 

 more satisfactory. You can expect a dozen 

 flowers from each plant where you would get 

 but one from the greenhouse sorts.
