Summer Flowering Hardy Asters. 



These varieties grow from 15 to 18 inches high, and produce their 

 showy flowers during July and August, their free flowering habit 

 and compact growth makes them most desirable subjects for the 

 front of the mixed border. 



Acrls. A neat variety, growing a foot high, completely covered in 

 September with violet-blue flowers. 



Amellus Beauty of Ronsdorf. Of a tender rose-lilac of most per- 

 fect form, entirely distinct.

New or Rare Hardy Asters (Michaelmas Daisies). 



Beauty of Colwall. This is unquestionably one of the finest of the 

 Michaelmas Daisies, of upright, compact growth, about 4 feet 

 high, of free-branching habit, and literally covered during Sep- 

 tember with large semi-double flowers of ageratum-blue, a pleas- 

 ing shade. $1.50 per doz. 



Qrandlflorus. Not a new variety but one of the finest of all and 

 distinct in character and flower from all others. The flowers, of 

 a lovely dark bluish-violet, frequently measure 2 inches in diam- 

 eter. It is the latest flowering variety— October and November— 

 and by lifting the plants can be flowered in connection with 

 Chrysanthemums, where its effect is very beautiful. 20 cts. each; 

 $2.00 per doz. 



Novl Belgil Climax. One of the most important additions to the 

 Michaelmas Daisies, and we believe the forerunner of a new 

 type. The plant is of strong, vigorous habit of growth, over 5 

 feet high; fully one-half of this consists of much branched pyra- 

 midal shaped flower stems which are filled with lively light lav- 

 ender-blue flowers fully IV* inches in diameter. The plant is in 

 flower from the latter part of August to the middle of October. 

 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



Novi Belgii St. Egwin. A bright pink in strong bushes, 2Vi to 3 ft. 

 high during September and October. $1.50 per doz. 



Thompsonl. (Ready in Nov.) One of the most beautiful large- 

 flowered sorts yet introduced. The flowers are not only of 

 exceptional size, but of graceful, stellate form and of a pleasing 

 Venetian blue color; grows 18 inches high, and blooms in July 

 and August. $1.50 per doz.
