Many people confuse these hardy Asters with the annual 
Asters, so much used by florists for cut-flowers. They are 
entirely different, and in our opinion more beautiful and 
use tul. 
These are the small-flowered Chrysanthemums of the old-fash¬ 
ioned gardens, and bloom in October and November after almost all 
flowers are gone. They are showy in the garden and effective as cut- 
flowers, and, being perfectly hardy and of easiest culture, can be suc¬ 
cessfully grown in any garden We offer a fine collection of the best 
varieties, ranging from white to deep crimson. 15 cts. each, $1.50 
per doz., $10 per 100. 
LARGE-FLOWERED CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
I have collected from farm gardens some of the old-fashioned 
Chrysanthemums which are really hardy and which bloom in Octo¬ 
ber and November, after all other outdoor flowers are gone. I have 
seen these Chrysanthemums in bloom when the snow was on the 
ground, and old established beds of them are wonderfully showy. 
They grow 3 to 4 feet high, and when in bloom are a perfect mass of 
flowers. I offer three large-flowered varieties—White, Pink an( 
Yellow. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100 
BLACKBERRY LILY ( Pardanthus Sinensis ) 
Lily-like flowers of a bright orange color, spotted with red, which 
a *3 succeeded by seeds that resemble blackberries. Very showy 
and desirable. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM LATIFOLIUM 
We have at last succeeded in getting a stock of the true 
variety of this most beautiful of all the Single Daisies. It is 
one of the most satisfactory hardy plants for the garden or 
border, and produces its large, beautiful single white flowers 
in the greatest profusion. It should be included in every col¬ 
lection of hardy plants. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
8HASTA DAISY. This new California Daisy has been intro¬ 
duced with a great hurrah, and may be all that is claimed 
for it, but so far in our garden does not appear to be as 
good as Chrysanthemum latifolium , which it resembles. 
However, it is not fair to judge plants the first season, and 
our plants are small and come from California by mail. 15 
cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
PRINCESS HENRY. This has larger flowers than C. lati - 
folium, and really is an improvement. 20c. each, $2 per doz. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM I. ATI FOLIUM
