Stokesia Cyanea 
The Cornflower or Stokes’ Jtster 
This is one of our most charming and beauti¬ 
ful 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. This is 
grown to supply the demand for blue cut- 
flowers in the autumn. We have no hesitation 
in saying that Stokesia is one of the most 
valuable and desirable hardy plants offered.

Because any one can grow 
it. It is free from all insect 
pests. It grows rapidly and 
lives year after year without 
disease, and it is the most 
beautiful of all the globose 
cactus. It blooms at inter¬ 
vals during the year (when 
large), but comes out in a 
perfect glory of blossoms in 
March and April, The tube 
measures 6 inches in length 
and the semi-double flowers 
are 4 to S inches across. They 
are a most lovely pure sa' in 
pink, the throat lined with 
numerous white silken 
stamens. A border of this 
beautiful cactus is a charm¬ 
ing sight, as may be seen by 
the cut.
