The 
Cornflower 
Aster. 
Stokesia 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 
until frost, its hand- 
some lavender - blue 
Cen tau rea-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 
single 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.

Ostrich Feather type 
of Asters. Much larger

more curled anti twist- 
ed, and produced in 
greater abundance. 
Borne on long stems 
which make it very 
desirable for cut flow- 
ers. Mixed colors.

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. 
Mrs. Chas. H. Merriam, Lincoln, Neb., March 
25, 1907, writes: The Jap Morning Glories grown 
from your seed last year were the wonder of the 
neighborhood.
