Fall-Flowering Hardy Aster 
(Michaelmas Daisy or Starwort) 
Provide your garden with a wealth of bloom during the months of September and 
October by planting a collection of late flowering Asters. These are the months when 
most of our flowers are past, and your garden needs color. These hardy plants grow 
well in any soil. We have five excellent varieties to offer our customers this fall. 
Delphinium 
The Delphinium or Perennial Larkspur is one of the indispens¬ 
able flowers to our flower garden. No garden is quite finished with¬ 
out it, as it works into so many places. It starts blooming in June 
and continues throughout the season until frost, if, as soon as the 
first bloom falls, the old spike is cut off and the root well watered. 
New shoots will soon appear and the second crop of blooms will 
soon follow. The Delphinium should be planted in full sun in 
mellow soil, enriched with well-rotted manure. Water as soon as 
planted. 
WREXHAM HOLLYHOCK STRAIN. We will have a nice bed of 
plants for this fall’s trade in this most wonderful strain from 
the finest seed we could procure in both England and America. 
Delphinium plants will go out at the proper planting season and 
only select plants will go into our orders. Shipments usually- 
made in September. 
Strong, 1-year, field-grown plants in assorted colors, 6 for $1.75; 
12 for $3.00, postpaid.
