Seeds of Perennials 
Hardy Asters — Continued 
§8180. —Perry’s Favorite (Amellus Section). The gem of this entire collection. 
The true variety, which we offer, is exceedingly scarce and rarely furnished, 
though offered and sold. The plant attains a height of 18 inches only, and 
grows in semi-globular form, covering fully 18 inches in diameter. When 
in full bloom no foliage is visible. The flowers, fairly large, are of a deli¬ 
cate shell pink, the most refreshing and delightful color in this whole sec¬ 
tion of plants. Flowering season, September.Crop failed 
§8190. —Robert Parker (Novi Belgii Section). The most beautifully colored and 
most effective of all hardy Asters. “Noble” is the term one can justly ap¬ 
ply to this plant. Its growth is majestic, its foliage clean; the star-like 
flowers are things of beauty to admire, but the color—the most exquisite 
delicate lavender — so pure, so refined, that one would hardly look for it in 
a class of wild flowers. Tho individual blooms are larger than any other 
sort and approach in appearance the annual kinds. An arrangement of 
“Robert Parker” with “Artemisa lactiflora” is stunning in effect, both 
flowering at the same time. Space. 2 feet.Pkt., $ .25

spring, when early in the season they should be transferred to tho spot where they 
are wanted. The well-known popular bedding plant for early spring gardens in con¬ 
nection with Pansies and Forget-me-nots; splendid for rockery, hardy borders, or as

double flowers, being equal to an early Aster.

Betonica (Bishop’s Wort—Wood Betony) 
Nat. Ord. Labiatae

dressed with lovely sage-like flowers, which remain perfect for six weeks. Space,
