ber of years and found them very 
satisfactory and most especially 
the petunia seed.

EARLY SNOWDRIFT 
IS CERTAINLY THE EARLIEST ASTER IN CULTIVATION The leaves are 
narrow and sparse, and the branches spring from close to the ground, me enure 
energy of the plant seems given to the production of twelve to twenty long, slender, 
upright stems, crowned with immense feathery flowers. The long, recurved petals 
give the flowers an exceedingly graceful effect, heightened in many cases by tne 
ragged, irregular character of the petals in the center of the flower. The flowers all 
come perfectly double. Pkt., 15ft seeds, 8 ets. 
NEW YELLOW ASTER 
The form of the double flower Is a perfect ball; the quills are close together and 
of the brightest sulphur yellow. The flowers are borne upon long, erect stems, ex- 
cellent for cutting. Plants. 12 to 15 inches high, are of compact, hardy growth, ana 
most abundant bloomers. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 ets. 
THE CORNFLOWER ASTER 
STOKESIA CYANEA — This is one of our most charming and beautiful native 
hardy plants. The plant grows from 18 to 24 inches high, bearing freely from early 
July* until frost, Its handsome lavender-blue Centaurea-like blossoms each measuring 
from 4 to 5 inches across. It is of the easiest culture, succeeding in any open, sunny 
position, and is not only desirable as a single plant in the mixed hardy border, but 
can be used with fine effect in masses or beds of any size. Pkt., 100 seeds, 8 ets.
