 ches in diameter, resembling in shape and artistically 

 curved and twisted petals, the finest Chinese Chrys-

Harlequin Aster. 



The striking Aster of great beauty, up- 

 right habits and a profuse bloomer. This 

 new race produces odd flowers of the most 

 handsome and attractive appearance, 

 which continue in bloom a long time. In 

 the gardens of Paris they are considered 

 the most valuable of all varieties on account 

 of their lontr duration in bloom and re- 

 markably bright and conspicuous colors. 

 Composed of pure white petals, quaintly 

 interspersed in irregular manner, with deep 

 blue and bright red petals.

Hohenzollern Aster. 



Ostrich Feather type of Asters. Much 

 larger than the Giant Comet, the petals 

 longer and more curled and twisted, and 

 produced in greater abundance. Borne on 

 long stems which make it very desirable 

 for cut flowers. Mixed colors.

The Cornflower Aster 



Stokesia Cyanea. 



This is one of our most charming and 

 beautiful native hardy plants. The plant 

 grows from 18 to 24 inches high, bearing 

 freely, from early July until frost, its hand- 

 some lavender-blue Centaurea-like blos- 

 soms, each measuring from 4 to 5 inches 

 across. It is of the easiest culture, suc- 

 ceeding in any open sunny position, and is 

 not only desirable as a single plant in the 

 mixed hardy border but can be used with 

 fine effect in masses or beds of any size.

Miss Clara H. Bodishin. Pardoe, 

 Penna., July, 1908, writes: The Coleus 

 seed that I got from you was the finest 

 lever saw. 1 had a great round bed of 

 them froma five centpackagc, and they 

 were all kinds; all the other flowers 

 did so well.
