The 



Cornflower 



Aster. 



Stoke sia Cyanea. 



This is one of our 

 most charming' and 

 beautiful native hardy 

 plants. The plant 

 grows from 18 to 24 in- 

 ches high, bearing 

 freely, from early July 

 u n til frost, its hand- 

 some lavender -blue 

 Centaure a-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 

 sing-le p 1 a n t i n the 

 mixed hardy border 

 but can be used with 

 fine effect in masses or 

 beds of any size.

Harlequin Aster. 



A striking- Aster of great beauty, upright habits 

 and a profuse bloomer. This new race produces odd 

 flowers of the most handsome and attractive appear- 

 ance, which continue in bloom a long time. In the 

 gardens of Paris they are considered the most valu- 

 able of all varieties on account of their long duration 

 in bloom and remarkably bright and conspicuous 

 colors. Composed of pure white petals, quaintly in- 

 terspersed in irregular manner, with deep blue and 

 bright red petals. Pkt.. 150 seeds, 5 cts.
