Every Garden Should 
Contain These Varieties 
DWARF HARDY ASTERS 
This is a new race of absolutely hardy, low growing Asters of great beauty and usefulness. Produced 
in Europe their abundance of bloom and neat, restricted growing habit rapidly brought them to the 
attention of the European growers. Soon they spread throughout that part of the world, made the 
inevitable jump across the ocean to this country, and now are available throughout the United States. 
The illustration of the variety Victor shows clearly their dwarf, compact habit of growth and flower. 
Each plant forms an individual clump ten to fifteen inches high and at least as broad. In the fall they 
burst into sheets of bloom, so dense that hardly a leaf shows through the flowers. For rock gardens, 
low borders, or any other location in which a plant of their height can be used, you will find them 
unexcelled. We believe this the finest group of new hardy plants that have been introduced for some 
time. We offer the following European varieties of Aster Hybridus. 
Countess of Dudley — 1'. Very deep pink. Latest to bloom, late September into October. 
Lady Henry Maddocks —1'. Light pink. The flowers of this variety are very narrow petaled and 
star-like. Blooms from mid-September until the first of October. 
Marjorie—10". Bright pink. Blooms from mid-September until the first of October. 
Nancy—10". Pale pink. Very low and broad. Blooms from mid-September until the first of October. 
Aster, Victor 
Ronald —1'. The finest of all. Clear lavender. 
Blooms from mid-September until the first of 
October. 
Victor —10". Light blue. First to bloom, late August 
until mid-September. 
Price: 30c each; $3.00 per 12. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM 
Chrysanthemum, Pink Cushion — 12". Dwarf 
in growth this Chrysanthemum, which is now ex¬ 
periencing well deserved popularity, covers itself 
with wholesale quantities of bright pink double 
flowers during its blooming period which varies 
somewhat according to the season and location. 
It usually is one of the first Chrysanthemums to 
flower, thus escaping the late frosts which spoil 
the displays of many Chrysanthemums. For bed- 
ing out, rock gardens and borders it will give entire 
satisfaction. 35c each. 
GYPSOPHILA 
Gypsophila oldhamiana —2'. We are pleased to be 
among the first to offer this new, hardy, pink 
Japanese variety of Baby’s Breath. Growing in 
much the same manner as the old fashioned Baby’s 
Breath (Gypsophila paniculata), it spreads its 
large panicles of pale pink, lacy flowers late in the 
fall, long after G. paniculata has gone to seed. 
You will admire the airy grace of its clouds of 
pale pink blooms and find it a valuable filler for 
your September and October bouquets. Exhibited 
in England for the first time last year, Gypsophila 
oldhamiana at once received the coveted Award 
of Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society and 
found favor everywhere. Doubtless it will soon 
become popular in our own country as well. 50c 
each. 
Gypsophila paniculata Rosenschleier —2-3'. A 
a new European, double flowered Baby’s Breath, 
very similar to the well known Bristol Fairy ex¬ 
cept that its flowers are distinctly pink instead of 
white. Rosenschleier is absolutely hardy, and its 
free and long flowering habits will assure you of 
quantities of pink blooms throughout the summer 
and fall. Try the effect of its pink tones in your 
bouquets. Gardeners and florists have long wanted 
a double pink Gypsophila—here it is. 50c each. 
IBERIS 
Iberis jucunda — 4-6". Little Iberis jucunda, ob- 
Gypsophila Rosenschleier tained from Germany, is again included in our 
special hstmg to give its outstanding merits the 
prominence they deserve. It is a pretty, dwarf pink 
flowered Candytuft with attractive, silvery blue, evergreen foliage. Throughout the 
winter the low tufts of leaves peep out among the snowdrifts in all the gleaming blue of 
the Foster’s Blue Spruce. With the warmth of the early summer come the close clusters 
of bright pink flowers. If you wish a choice plant which is practically unknown to 
the general run of gardeners, try this grand little perennial. Iberis jucunda has with¬ 
stood temperatures of — 20 F. at this nursery without protection. 35c each. 
VERONICA 
Veronica incana rosea —12-15". Most gardeners have long grown and admired the 
well known, silver leaved, blue flowered Veronica incana; it is a choice perennial. Now 
comes this new importation from Holland, a silver leaved V. incana with deep pink 
flowers. To describe it fully: Veronica incana rosea is a low growing, white leaved, 
hardy perennial, which, during July and August, sends up quantities of foot long 
spikes of deep rose colored flowers, making a striking contrast with the silvery gray 
of its foliage. 50c each. 
SHASTA DAISIES 
Shasta Daisies —2-3'. From Richard Diener of California come the two following strains 
of his new Shasta Daisies. He predicts that they will be a sensation for the next few 
years, and we are inclined to agree with him. From June until the fall frosts, on long 
sturdy stems the pine white daisies come, one after another in continuous succession. 
Among the several thousand plants which bloomed on our grounds last summer, no 
two seemed to have the same pattern of flower. As they came on we found long petals 
and short ones, broad petals and narrow ones, single daisies, semi-double ones, daisies 
with so many petals that they looked like large powder puffs—there seems no end to 
flower types in these hybrids. The culture of the Shasta Daisies is simple and their 
requirements are not exacting; just sunlight, a well fertilized bed and a little straw 
mulch in locations where the temperature goes below zero. We are offering the 
following two strains of these new perennials. 
Double and semi-double mixed. 35c each. 
Single “Earliest of All”— The flowers of these plants measure from 4-6" across. 
Double Shasta Daisy 
35c each.
