A BEAUTIFUL HARDY PERENNIAL 



EASILY GROWN FROM SEED 



Stokesia Cyanea 



(Corn flower Aster) 



Stokesia cyanea 



(Corn flower Aster) 



THIS beautiful native hardy plant is not yet quite so well known as it 

 should and deserves to be. No garden, large or small, should be 

 without it. As a single specimen or group in the hardy 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 ranks with the Phlox, Paeony and 

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

 succeeding in any open sunny position. The plants grow from i8 to 24 

 inches high and begin flowering in July, continuing without interruption 

 till late in October to produce their handsome lavender blue centauria-like 

 blossoms which are highly valuable for cutting, supplying a shade of color 

 not overl}^ plentiful at an^^ season of the year.
