NEW WINTER HARDY 
Hybrid Korean Chrysanthemums 
These new creations are especially fine 
for cold climates where the ordinary 
Chrysanthemum winterkills. As stated 
before, they are hardier, most attractive 
in color, very early, blooming early Octo¬ 
ber, easier to grow, and more profuse in 
blooming. 
The lovely new pastel shades, which 
simply defy accurate description or true 
color reproduction, suggest the Gerbera 
in their daintiness. Cut with short stems, 
they make the most charming table dec¬ 
orations, yet are capable of striking dec¬ 
orative uses if the entire branching sprays 
are used. They are compelling for color 
effect in the garden.

red and change to coppery bronze as

Dwarf 
Aster. 
The new dwarf Asters are unquestionably among the most worth while plants that have re¬ 
cently come to us from England. Very neat in habit with attractive foliage and in September 
and October are graced with hundreds of blooms of the most delicate shades of lavender, pink 
and lilac. Not one person who saw them growing in our nurseries but admired them and 
purchased some. 
They rarely exceed one foot in height and during the blooming period in September the 
plants are completely covered with blossoms. They are ex¬ 
ceptionally valuable for the edging or for grouping in the 
front of borders and are also charming for the rock garden, 
coming at a time when the rock garden is void of flowers. 
They have been tested for three years in our nurseries and 
we as well as all those who have seen them proclaim these new 
things to be of exceptional value and merit. Perfectly hardy 
and grow most anywhere in any reasonably good garden soil.
