HARDY PEREXXIAL PLAXTS. 

 HARDY ASTERS. 



Michaelmas Daisies. Stakwokts. 



These charming, interesting perennials are 

 highly esteemed for their great profusion of 

 starlike flowers; especially as they bloom in 

 late autumn when flowers are scarce. Some 

 are tall growing, others are quite dwarf: all 

 are absolutely hardy and exceedingly useful 

 for cutting and for decorations. After care- 

 fully testing a long list of varieties those of- 

 fered were selected as the best. 



Esmas. (1 ft.) — Pure white: early. 



Grace. (Z ft.) — Rose lilac; lace-like. 



Laevis floribunda. C 2 V2 ft.) — Bright blue. 



Lady Travelyn. Pure white; large and fine. 



Madonna. (3 ft.) — Snowy-white; profuse.

 Bluish purple; large flowers in masses. 



Nova Anglea rosea. (4 feet.) — The 

 finest and showiest of all the Hardy As- 

 ters. Strong growing and exceedingly free 

 flowering; presenting a mass of bright rosy- 

 pink flowers in large clusters, during late 

 summer and autumn. 



Novelty. (2 ft.) — Rosy-pink in great masses. 



Pulcherrima. (2 ft.) — Light blue; early.

 fine.

 ASCLEPIAS TUBEROSA. Butterfly Weed. 



Although of American origin and to be 

 sometimes found in meadows throughout the 

 Middle States, this is one of the most unique 

 and showy of all hardy flowers. It is highly 

 prized throughout Europe, as it should be in 

 America. It forms fleshy roots and is exceed- 

 ly hardy; thrives in all soils and produces 

 numerous large, compact, flat heads of bright 

 orange-yellow flowers — a color found in no 

 other hardy perennial — during the entire 

 summer. It is as beautiful as it is striking, 

 showy and effective. Should be planted in 

 mass. Two feet. 



Strong transplanted roots, each. 15c; doz. 

 $1.50; 100, $8.00. 



BAPTISIA AUSTRALIS. 



False Indigo. 



Handsome border plant, three feet high, 

 with dark green, dense foliage and numerous 

 large, showy spikes of dark blue bloom dur- 

 ing summer. Very ornamental and effective. 



Each 12c; doz. $1.25.
