ASTER-DWARF AUTUMN GROUP—About 20 kinds of 
foot high very free blooming asters are on trial. Here 
are five of the six best, the live for $1. They bloom first 
year, require full sun and if leaf spot comes in July spray 
with nicotine and soap as the lace bug is stinging them. 
This is the only defect in a group that gives bloom in au¬ 
tumn after frost when the garden otherwise is dull. 
Again—full sun, and 1 each for $1. 
Countess of Dudley —9 in. Charming flowers of clear pink 
with yellow eye. 
Lady Henry Maddocks—1 ft. Clear pale pink: compact. 
Nancy— 1 ft. A delightful show of flesh-pink flowers. Late. 
Ronald — 1 ft. Brilliant lilac-pink, with rQse-pink buds. 
Victor —8 inches. Early, dwarfest, pretty; light lavender. 
One of each above for $1. 
CALAMINTA ACINOS—A very green creeper from 
Greece, with purple flowers in June. The leaf arrange¬ 
ment in fours around the creeping stems is very appealing. 
Often a repeat bloom in October. Sun, ordinary soil. 
Rather new, easy and good. 25c. 
CARYOPTERIS MONGOLIENSIS—Compact gray leaved 
2 foot perennial, with blue flowers in late summer, that 
takes root as it slowly creeps. A very fine rockery plant, 
lasts w r ell when cut. Aromatic scented leaves, in fact, it 
is like the sage-brush of our western prairies, with blue 
flowers. Likes dr} T , poor, sunny place. Blooms first year. 
50c. 
CHICKORY—A pink form of the blue wild plant so 
often seen by roadside. Sunny, dry loam, three foot pink 
spikes blooming for three months. Bloom first year. New. 
from England. 25c. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM AMELIA—A foot high and abso¬ 
lutely a mound of large pink mums in late August. Freest 
flowering, blooms from ground lineup. Most outdoor mums 
here bloom too late to be usable. This August and Sept¬ 
ember bloomer is a “find.” Also called Pink Cushion, Aza- 
leamum. and other good names, but Amelia is the original 
that I have used for ten years. 20c. 
The next two were the outstanding items during the 
heat of last year: 
CORONILLA MINIMA—Inch high creeping branches 
with pinnate leaves. One inch golden crowns of pea-shaped 
flowers in June. Sun, ordinary loam. New, rare and good. 
Foliage is intensely green, during hot weather. 20c. 
LOTUS CORNICULATA FLORE PLENA — Somewhat 
similar to above. Flowers are double, plant is leafier and 
it creeps faster. Very green in hot weather when some 
plants look sickly. 20c.
