 this grand hardy perennial. No class 

 of plants gives a wider range of 

 colors, while the form and substance 

 of the flowers is all that could be 

 wished ; their main season of bloom- 

 ing is in' June, but if the old flower 

 stems are removed they will give a 

 fair sprinkling of flowers in the 

 Autumn. The bloom is similar to 

 that of an aster and ranges in color 

 from pure white and yellow and the 

 various shades of pink and red to 

 deep purple ; the plants we offer are 

 mixed seedlings grown from an extra select strain. 25 cts. 

 each ; $2.50 per doz.

 cup-shaped flowers. The profusion of blooms which they 

 produce is really astonishing, often a hundred flower stems on 

 a single plant, and they are produced in never-ceasing succes- 

 sion from the beginning of June to October. Mixed colors.
