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 anysize.

New Yellow Aster, 



The form of the double flower is a per- 

 fect ball; the quills are close together and 

 of the brightest sulphur yellow, not a 

 mere indication of the color, as in all for- 

 mer productions. The border petals are 

 broad and of a lighter tint, seeming to en- 

 close the flower like an old-fashioned bou- 

 quet paper. The flowers are borne upon 

 long, erect stems, excellent for cutting. 

 Plants, twelve to fifteen inches high, are of 

 compact, hardy eri-owth, and most abund- 

 ant bloomers. Pkt, 150 seeds, 5 cts. 



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 long 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.
