cidedly the best Aster yet produced.

exceptionally long petals which are 
very attractively curled and twisted; 
color beautiful soft shell pink. The 
plants are branching and very vigor¬ 
ous, producing about mid-season an 
abundance of flowers on very long

pact plants covered with attractive

on the opposite page was executed in 
natural colors from specimens produced 
on plants wintered over outdoors at 
our Experimental Gardens. The mix¬

variety of shades and markings. ( See

Gypsophila — Elegans Large 
Flowering Pure White 
For adding grace to a bouquet of 
cut flowers there is nothing more 
beautiful than our improved large 
flowering strain of Gypsophila. The 
delicate sprays of pure white flowers 
are easily grown and may be had from 
the outdoor garden through a long 
season. Combined with carnations, 
with violets or snapdragons, with 
hyacinths or orchids according to 
the season’s opportunities, the effect 
with each is delightful. A few sprays 
add greatly to the charm of a bunch 
of sweet peas. (See also page 75)
