ASTER DUMOSES HYBRIDS 
• 
The new dwarf Asters are unquestionably among the most worth 
while plants that have recently 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 exceptionally 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.

NEW KOREAN CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Lack of space prevents the listing of the New 
Korean Chrysanthemums illustrated above, in the 
novelty section. We refer you to page 20 of 
this catalog or to the novelty page in our seed book 
where they are illustrated in full color. This cata¬ 
log was recently mailed to you. 
NEW DWARF 
BORDER 
ASTER 
Among the Chrysanthemums on page 17 you will 
find listed a variety named Amelia, often called Pink 
Cushion. This is a most unique variety 
rarely ever over 12 inches high with almost 
stemless flowers produced in superabund¬ 
ance. When in full bloom, the plant looks 
more like an Azalea than a Chrysanthemum. 
CARNATION 
CRIMSON KING 
Here is an outstanding hardy Car¬ 
nation for the garden, flowering 
throughout spring, summer, and 
fall, not shyly but with remarkable 
freedom. Dazzling crimson flowers 
on stiff stocky stems, long enough 
for cutting. It is exceptionally 
hardy, growing anywhere. Does 
not get “lanky” or untidy. A great 
plant for the border. Never have 
we seen anything like it in Hardy 
Carnations or Hardy Pinks. 
Each 45c, 3 for $1.20, 12 for $3.50
