STOKESIA CYANEA, 



THE HARDY BLUE -CORNFLOWER ASTER." 



This beautiful hardy perennial plant is not so well known as it deserves to 

 be. Xo garden, large or small, should be without it. As a single specimen or 

 group in the herbaceous border it makes for itself a place that cannot be filled 

 by any other hardy plant, while for beds or masses of any size it is very 

 attractive. It is of the easiest culture, blooming the first year from seed, and 

 succeeding in any open sunny position. The plants grow from 18 to 24 inches 

 high and begin flowering in July, continuing without interruption till late in 

 October to produce their handsome lavender-blue cornflower-like blossoms, 

 4 to 5 inches across, on long stems, rendering them highly valuable for cutting, 

 supplying a shade of color not over plentiful at any season of the year.. .Pkt. 10l. 



"I am greatly pleased with the Colossal Ten-weeks' Stocks raised from seed 

 bought of you. They bloomed beautifully from early summer until 

 the present time (Xov. 3). but none of them went to seed, so I 

 have ordered another packet, as I do not know of a flower 

 which possesses more merits." 



Mrs. JOHX HAM AX, Syracuse, N. Y.

great beauty, and have so many good
