Sunshine Asters 



Improved Anemone Flowered 



A delightful new type of Aster that is a 

 distinct departure from the old double and 

 single forms. 



Flowers are quite large, about 3 inches 

 across, and made up of 2 or 3 outer rows of 

 large twisted or quilled petals, while cen- 

 ters consist of tiny quilled petals usually 

 of a contrasting color. Colors are blue, 

 lilac, pink and white; the three former are 

 usually dotted with a lighter shade or 

 white. 



Plants are large and bushy, about 2 feet 

 high, and bear flowers on long stems. This 

 is an excellent variety for cut flowers, as 

 it lasts a long time in water.

 brilliant scarlet-carmine. "Very desir-

Carnation 



1193 Engelman's Gold Medal 



With this wonderful strain of Car- 

 nations you can grow as fine, as 

 sweet scented, and almost as large 

 flowers as you can buy from the flor- 

 ist. Plants are nardy and bloom 

 throughout the Summer months. All 

 the good Carnation colors are in this 

 fine mixture and it produces better 

 than 80 per cent true double flowers.

Chinese 

 Forget>Me-Not 



1285 Cynoglossum Am a bile 



A fine new blue annual useful for beds, 

 borders or cutting. Bushy plants about 20 

 inches high, bearing sprays of bright blue 

 flowers, very similar to Forget-Me-Nots 

 and delicately sweet scented. Can be grown 

 successfully in a number of locations. Pkt., 

 15c; V4. oz., 60c. 



Coreopsis 



1395 Iianceolata — Semi-Double. 



The old single-flowering Coreopsis has 

 long been a favorite for perennial gardens, 

 and we feel sure that in time this fine new 

 double form will entirely replace the single 

 type. Plants are as strong and vigorous as 

 the old type and bear quantities of rich, 

 golden yellow flowers, either semi- or full- 

 double. Pkt., 15c; Yi oz., 75c.

 varieties we offer, as a Special Collec- 

 tion, one packet of each of the 10 Novel- 

 ties offered on pages 4 and 5 for $2.50.
