STOKESIA (Cornflower Aster) 



The blue Stokesia Cyanea. although a native of the 

 United States, was practically unknown as a garden plant 

 until the year 1903, when we illustrated it in colors on the 

 cover of our Garden Book and, as a result of our efforts, 

 it is now one of the popular hardy perennials. Some years 

 later, a white-flowered variety was discovered, and now 

 we are able to offer a mixture containing a number of 

 rose shades, white and various shades of blue and purple 

 as well. 



4051 Cyanea. This is not new, but is a rare and beau- 

 tiful hardy perennial. The plant grows about 24 

 inches high, each bearing from 20 to 30 handsome 

 lavender-blue cornflower-like blossoms ; in bloom 

 from July till frost. One of the choicest subjects 

 for the hardy border and indispensable for cutting.

 identical to the popular blue variety in every way

TWO BRILLIANT SWEET WILLIAMS 



We wish to call special attention to the two brilliant Sweet Williams 

 offered below. They arc also included in the general list of Sweet 

 Williams offered on page 24. 



4282 Newport Pink. A distinct new color in this favorite hardy 

 plant, which originated in one of the far-famed gardens at 

 Newport, R. I. In color it is what florists call watermelon- 

 pink or salmony-rose. For mid-season mass-bedding it has no 

 equal. Perfectly hardy. 



4281 Scarlet Beauty. A splendid companion to the above. The 

 color is an intense rich, deep scarlet, and a most effective plant 

 for the old-fashioned hardy border, where this shade is very 

 uncommon. 



Either of the above 15 cts. per pkt. A packet of each for 25 cts.
