ARTEMISIA *schmidtiana nana — A rare 
dwarf species with very fine cut silvery- 
white leaves, as compact as moss. A 
worthwhile foliage plant. 6 inches. 50c 
each. 
ASARUM — (Wild Ginger) A native ground

ASTER frikart-Wonder of Stafa — In our 
opinion the best of the tall growing 
Asters introduced to date. Of branching 
habit, it produces large lavender blue 
flowers on 12 to 18 inch stems, making 
wonderful cutflowers. A thin layer of 
powdered tobacco dust placed under the 
roots when planting, or pouring nicotine 
insecticides over them after they are In 
place, is the best preventive for the 
aphids which sometimes attack these 
plants. 50c and 75c each. 
ASTERS - MICHAELMAS DAISIES — The 
Hardy Perennial Border is not complete 
if the Michaelmas Daisies have been 
omitted. The following are the newest 
and best so far introduced and we can 
not recommend them too highly. 
Noviae-angliae section —The varieties in 
this section have large flowers which 
are produced in terminal clusters on 
branches 4 to 6 ft. stems.

tion. 50c each.

tirely resistant to mildew and other 
diseases. 6 ft. 50c each. 
novi-belgi section —The stems or stalks of 
the following are not as stiff or hard as 
those of the novae-angliae section. The 
large flowers are produced on long 
branching, graceful sprays in great pro¬ 
fusion from Sept, to Nov. 
Chas. Wilson —A bright red which in our 
opinion is the best of its color to date. 
Sept, to frost. 3 to 4 ft. high. 50c each.

forming tall, well shaped, pointed pyr¬ 
amids with an abundance of lateral

red, later changing to a brighter pink. 
4 ft. 35c each.

panion to Burbanks Charming. Sprays 
make wonderful fillers for bouquets. 50c

*carpatica nana — A very dwarf and com¬ 
pact form of this species with large lav¬ 
ender blue flowers on 3 to 4 inch stems. 
In our opinion one of the most beautiful 
rock garden Campanula, comparing very 
favorably wdth C. raineri in beauty and 
being much more tractable in the gar¬ 
den. 50c each. 
*elatinoides — Trailing species, with hairy, 
scalloped leaves and star-shaped flowers 
of pale blue. 50c each. 
*excisa — Rather frail-looking in growth, 
but makes wide mats if planted in gritty 
soil and given a little water. The long, 
narrow-tubed bells of blue have punched- 
out hole at the base of each segment. 
50c each.
