STOKESIA CYANEA AI.BA. 



(The Xew Wliite Corn-Flowef, or .Stokes' Aster.) 



We showed in colors on the cover of our 1903 Garden. 



Book the blue Stokesia Cyanea, which at that time, 



although a native of the United States, was practically 



nown as a garden plant ; but, as the result of our efibrts, 



now become one of the popular hardy perennials. In this 



new variety here offered we have a counterpart of 



the parent in general habit of growth aud freedom 



of bloom, but in color it is a pure white, a plant that 



is certain to be welcomed as a desirable addition to 



the hardy garden. (See cut.) 25 cts. each; S2.50
