STOKES ASTER (Stokesia cyanea) 
For no reason that we have been able to discover, 
Stokesia has been very little planted here. It is quite 
drought resistant and from early summer until win¬ 
ter it is one of the busiest plants we know. The 
drought resistant qualities, general hardiness, long 
blooming period of this plant together with the love¬ 
liness of large, blue or white aster-shaped flowers, 
combine to make it one of our best. Grows to eighteen 
inches. Plant in sun in well drained soil. Gal. con¬ 
tainers. 2 V 2 inch pots. 
STRAWBERRY - ORNAMENTAL (Fragaria) 
Chiloensis. Is being used quite extensively now as a

typical white strawberry flowers in spring. Bare-root, 
$1.50 per hundred. 2^/4 inch pots. Gal. containers.
