NEW or SCARCE HARDY ASTERS 
Feltham Blue. One of the most decorative free-flowering blue 
varieties, a pretty shade of aniline blue, produced on freely 
branched plants during August and September, 24 feet high. 
Grandiflorus. Not a new sort, but one of the finest of all, and 
distinct in character and flower from all others. The flowers, 
of a lovely dark bluish-violet, frequently measure 2 inches in 
diameter. It is the latest to flower—October and November— 
and by lifting the plants can be flowered in connection with 
Chrysanthemums, where its effect is very beautiful; 2 to 23 feet 
high. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 
Novi-Belgii Climax. In this splendid new variety we have 
the most important addition to Michaelmas Daisies yet made, 
and we believe the forerunner of a distinct type. The plant is 
of strong, vigorous, habit, over 5 feet high, fully one-half of 
which consists of much-branched pyramidical-shaped flower 
stems filled with light lavender-blue flowers, each 1} inches or 
more in diameter. It blooms from the latter part of August 
until the middle of October. 
Thompsoni. One of the most beautiful large-flowered sorts 
yet introduced. The flowers are graceful, stellate form and of 
a pleasing Venetian-blue color; grows 15 to 18 inches high and 
blooms in July and August. 
4 sorts for $1.00.
