New Aster Plants 
Hearten Gardeners 
The new WILT RESISTING 
ASTERS have given gardeners sufficient 
courage to again try these very desir¬

Autumn Flowers 
Gorgeous autumn blooming plants, 
producing a lavish profusion of colorful 
flowers just at a time when other plants 
are beginning to fail. When planted in 
sheltered locations, particularly at the 
base of walls, buildings or shrubbery, 
the chrysanthemum is wonderfully sat¬ 
isfactory, producing an effective display 
long after the ordinary garden flowers 
are destroyed by frost, even after light 
falls of snow, it is sometimes possible 
to cut uninjured clusters.

PACHYSANDRA 
Japanese Spurge 
Most Satisfactory Evergreen 
Ground Cover 
Pachysandra is recognized as the har¬ 
diest, quick growing, dense covering that 
we can establish in dense shade, under 
trees and shrubbery and other unsightly, 
shaded places where it is impossible to 
grow grass. It quickly adapts itself to 
the conditions under which grass will 
not grow. Quickly forming a thick mat 
of clean, green foliage about 8 inches 
high. Plants should be set 6x6 inches 
apart for quick, dense coverage. 
Thrifty one year plants, 25 for $1.00— 
100 plants, $3.00; 500 plants, $13.50; 1000 
plants, $25.00.

Hardy Gardens Planned 
and Planted in Solid 
Colors 
are fast gaining in favor. By planting 
three, six or more of any variety used, 
according to the space and size of beds 
available. Using perennials for the 
main planting and as the season ad¬ 
vances filling in with well selected an¬ 
nuals to conform with the desired color 
scheme. Such plantings are desirable 
and very effective, due to the mass of 
color it produces; far outdoing a single 
plant in bloom here and there through¬ 
out the beds.
