FLOWER SEED NOVELTIES 



It is our practice each season to test on our " Floracroft " Trial Grounds all Floral Novelties, and in this 

 ■way we become, by personal positive knowledge, acquainted with all the best that is oifered both in this 

 country and abroad. Of many of the finer sorts, we grow our full stock of seed on our own ground, thus 

 being enabled to know that the type is kept pure and true. 



STOKESIA CYANEA 



(Tlie Cornflower or Stokes' Aster) 



No. 2655. Thia is one of our most charming 

 and beautiful native hardy plants. The plant 

 grows from 18 to 24 inches high, bearing freely^ 

 from early July until frost, its handsome laven- 

 der-blue Centaurea-like blossoms each measur- 

 ing from 4 to 5 inches across. It is one of the 

 easiest culture, succeeding in any open sunny 

 position, and is not only desirable as a single 

 plant in the mixed hardy border, but can be 

 used with fine effect in masses or beds of any 

 size. Like many other native plants which are 

 neglected at home, this is grown in consider- 

 able quantities in Europe to supply the demand 

 for blue cut flowers in the Autumn. 



We have no hesitation in saying that 

 Stokesia is one of the most valuable and desir- 

 able hardy plants oflered. Seed: per pkt., 15c.; 

 2 pkts., 25c. Plants: each,15c.; per doz., $1.50.
