<—«Aster Frikarti 
Wonder of Staefa 
Superb Summer- and 
Autumn-blooming Aster 
with lovely, clear lavender- 
blue flowers of the A. Alpinus 
type, more than 2 inches across. 
The stocky plants grow 2 }/% feet 
tall, and will spread over an 
area 3 feet or more in diameter, 
blooming in long-stemmed, grace¬ 
ful sprays. A most effective sub¬ 
ject for a large rock-garden, and 
bears splendid flowers for cutting. 
Very different from Asters of the 
Michaelmas Daisy type. 45 cts. 
each; $4.50 for 12. 
Aster hybridus luteus 
Notable for the profusion of tiny yellow 
flowers borne on densely branched sprays about 
2j/2 inches high throughout August and Septem¬ 
ber. 35c each; $3.50 for 12. 
Queen. A wonderful 
Daisy growing 3 to 
4 feet high with huge, single flow¬ 
ers of lustrous lilac-blue. Useful 
for cut-flowers as well as garden 
display. 30c each; $3.00 for 12. 
Red Rover. The finest of all-red 
Asters. The color is deep rosy red, 
with golden center. Flowers are 
medium size, borne in immense 
sprays, on plants of spreading low 
habit, compact and sturdy. 50c 
each; $5.00 for 12. 
Mount Everest. By far the finest of 
the white Asters. Forms well¬ 
shaped, pointed pyramidal mounds 
which flower right down to the 
ground. Old flowers do not spoil 
the snowy effect. Foliage is dis¬ 
ease resistant and generally clean. 
Altogether a very fine Aster, and 
the best of its color. 50c each; 
$5.00 for 12. 
Compact, dwarf plants 
about 18 inches high and more 
than 24 inches in spread. The 
pale pink flowers are nearly an 
inch across and so thickly 
placed that the foliage is com¬ 
pletely hidden. One of the 
latest to bloom and therefore 
especially effective in the rock- 
garden. 35 cts. each; $3.50 
for 12. 
A group of dense, low-growing new 
hybrids of A. dumosus recently 
originated in England. Suited to 
the rock-garden or for low borders. 
Daphne. Low, compact plants about 
12 inches high, buried in a smother 
of soft pink flowers in the latter 
part of September. 
Marjorie. Grows about 18 inches 
high and 24 inches broad, with an 
indescribable profusion of deep 
apple-blossom-pink flowers bright¬ 
ened with golden centers, so thickly 
placed that the foliage is hidden. 
September. 
Nancy. One of the loveliest of the 
lot. The pale pearl-gray flowers 
are nearly an inch across and are 
illumined with lilac-pink and yel¬ 
low. Is nearly 18 inches high, and 
blooms a little later than the others. 
Countess of Dudley. Stocky, bushy 
plants about 18 inches high, and 
equally broad, covered with clear 
pink flowers about % inch across 
in dazzling profusion. September. 
Remembrance. Very compact plants 
thickly studded with starry flowers 
of a delightful soft pink shade. 
12 inches. September. 
Snow Sprite. One of the showiest 
because of its profusion of semi¬ 
double, dazzling white flowers. 
Plants low and thick. September. 
Victor. Earliest of this group to 
bloom and very dwarf, making a 
perfect sheet of flowers in a stun¬ 
ning shade of clear violet-blue.
