'■ I am m-eatly pleased with the Colossal Ten- 

 weeks' Stocks raised from seed bou-ghl of you. They 

 bloomed beautifully from early summer until Ike 

 present time {Nov. 3), but none of them went to 

 seed, so I have ordered another packet, as 1 do not 

 know of a flower which possesses more menis.

Autumn and Winter Flowering Stocks. 



HI^ comparatively new t3pe produces the largest double flowers of any 



class in the Stock family. The flowers are borne on long trus.ses standing 2 



to 2i feet above the ground. The plants are of strong, healthy, robust 



growth and produce continuously for weeks their fine spikes of splendid 



flowers which are also delightfully fragrant. Plants from seeds early 



in the spring, commence blooming in late summer and continue until cut 



down by frost, rendering them especially desirable for the autumn 



garden. They, however, are equally valuable as winter flowering pot 



plants and furnish excellent cutting material. For the latter purposes 



sow the seeds during the summer. They commence flowering in from 



2i to 34 months from seed sowing.

Stokesia Cyanea 



The Hardy Blue = 

 Corn-flower" Aster. 



HI.^ beatitiful hnrd>' perennial plant is not so well known as it deserves to be. 

 No garden, large or small, should be without it. As a single specimen or 

 group in the herbaceous border it makes for it.self a place that cannot be filled 

 by any other hardy plant, while for beds or masses of any size it is verj- attract- 

 ive. It is of the easiest culture, blooming the first year from seed, and succeed- 

 ing in any open sunny position. The plants grow from IS to 24 inches high and be- 

 gin flowering in .July, continuing without interruption till late in October to produce 

 their hand.'^ome lavender-blue cornflower-like blossoms. 4 to 5 inches across, on long 

 terns, rendering them highly valuable for cutting, supplying a shade of color not over 

 tiful at any season of the year. {See cttt.) Pkt.lOc.
