Twelve New Varieties 



Offered by us for the first time this year 



Amelia {Pink Cushion). This variety has been offered under 

 several other names. Among the early flowering sorts it is 

 unique insofar as the enrly flowers come perfect and do not 

 seem to sap the strength of the plant as happens in many others. 

 Compact and symmetrical plants forming a cushion of double 

 lavender-pink flowers which begin to develop the latter part of 

 August and continue to the last of October. 



Autumn Leaf. A very beautiful variety with deep fawn orange 

 blooms beautifully suffused with bright carmine. 



Cavalier. A dazzling rich vermilion-red variety with medium 

 sized single flowers. Early and verj' showy. 



Chestnut Burr. Quaintly formed, perfectly double blooms of a 

 cheerful chestnut red color. Of medium size and very free flow- 

 ering. Always greatly admired. 



Distinction. A small, perfectly double, yellow flower with red 

 tips. Blooms freely and is surely most distinct. 



Granny Scoville. A very large decorative or Aster flowered 

 sort. Perfectly double blooms of a warm coral bronze. 



Harbinger. Compact, dwarf plants covered with good sized 

 single flowers of a deep lavender- blue with a large white halo 

 around the bright yellow disc. Very attractive. 



Lemonade. Large lemon yellow single flowers attractively suf- 

 fused with red. Free flowering and of good color.

 reverse giving the flower an artistic appeal with their unusual 

 showy color combination. A beautiful large flower.
