" / am greatly pleased u ith the Colossal '!'• n wa ks' Storks raised from seed bought of you. They bloomed 

 tlly from early summer until the present time (Nov. S), but none of them went to seed, so I have 

 < '■ ■ ./ another packet, as I do not know of a flower which possesses more merits"

STOKESIA CYANEA. 



(Blue Cornflower Aster.) 

 i^^HIS beautiful hardy perennial plant is not so 'well known as it 

 ^L. deserves to be. No garden, large or small, should be without 

 ^^ it. As a single specimen or group in the herbaceous 

 border it makes for itself a place that cannot be filled by any other 

 hardy plant, while for beds or masses of any size it is very attractive. 

 It is of the easiest culture, blooming the first year from seed, and 

 succeeding in any open sunny position. The plants grow from 18 to 

 24 inches high and begin flowering in July, continuing without in- 

 terruption till late in October to produce their handsome lavender- 

 blue cornflower-like blossoms 4 to 5 inches across on long stems, 

 rendering them highly valuable for cutting, supplying a shade of 

 color not overplentiful at any season of the year Pkt. 15c.
