NEW ASTER "ROSALIE" 
"Rosalie" is a new shade in the American branching type of 
Aster. The handsome fully double flowers are 4 inches in diame¬ 
ter. The color is a deep rose-pink, bright and attractive, and the 
flowers are borne on long, clean stems. What is really out¬ 
standing about this new Aster, is its ability to produce flowers 
that are 100% double throughout the season, and at no time are 
the centers exposed. "Rosalie" is certain to become very popular 
for florists as well as for home gardens.

Antirrhinum "Guinea Gold" 
BEGONIA MULTIFLORA FL. 
The leaves, like those of Helen Harms, are small, narrow 
and longish; the rounded flowers are somewhat larger and 
better filled. Many flowers are like tiny roses, which are 
nominally very effective when opening. The combination 
of colors is wonderful: the foundation of old gold or golden 
PL. "Coppery Gold" (Benary) 
yellow merges into copper red or coppery salmon and is 
usually tinged with carmine. The seedlings produce about 
80% doubles; they bloom profusely and uninterruptedly 
from July onwards until the frost comes.

NEW BEGONIA "MASTERPIECE" (Fibrous Rooted) 
"Masterpiece" is a lovely clear 
rose-pink Begonia, and the most 
outstanding in this color class. 
The large-sized blooms are pro¬ 
duced so abundantly that the 
foliage is really overshadowed. 
A large bed of "Masterpiece" ob¬ 
served on a large estate near Chi¬ 
cago this past season was a sight 
to behold. For pot plants as well 
as for bedding, you have some¬ 
thing if you have this exceptional 
new Begonia.
