HARDY ASTERS 
These are among the showiest of our late 
flowering hardy plants, giving a wealth of 
bloom at a season when most other hardy

white and blue.

SCARLET SAGE 
(Monardo Didyma) 
Two feet. This is a perennial sage, per¬ 
fectly hardy here. Flowers come on well- 
branched stems, about two feet high. Very 
pretty red and blooms a long time. Flow¬ 
ers are about as large as carnations. 
HARDY AGERATUM 
(Eupatorium) 
This hardy, blue-flowered plant blooms 
in August and September. Grows about 2 
feet high and will bloom in dense shade. 
A fine cutting flower. 
DIGITALIS—Fox Glove 
An old fashioned garden flower that 
should be in every garden. Our plants con¬ 
tain many of the finest colors. 
SHASTA DAISIES 
Remarkably large, semi-double daisies, 
3 to 4 inches across and pure white, with 
petals in two or more rows about a golden 
center. The plant is extra vigorous and 
maintains a fine show of great flowers 
throughout the summer and autumn. A 
splendid border plant and of great value 
for cutting. My plants are strong, field 
grown and will bloom abundantly the first 
season. 
HARTJE DAISY. This is an improved 
Shasta Daisy, much larger flowers, longer 
stems and earlier. 
DELPHINIUM 
(Larkspur) 
One of the finest sights of modern gar¬ 
dens is a fine collection of blooming Lark¬ 
spurs. They give us the greatest abund¬ 
ance of flowers and utmost variety in tints 
and shades of blue during June and July. 
The Delphiniums make good border back¬ 
grounds. Although pliants thrive in any 
good garden soil, a deep, rich, loamy one. 
with sunny exposure is best.
