HARRINGTON’S PINK ASTER 
IMPROVED SUN GOD 
Pink Sensation Delphinium and Harrington’s Pink Aster are, 
without doubt, the two most important new perennials this 
year. 
For more than 20 years, the late Millard Harrington of 
Williamsburg, Iowa, made countless selections of many thou¬ 
sands of seedlings until he finally developed true pink asters. 
They bloomed practically unknown and unsung, until some 
plants found their way east to Massachusetts. There, they 
were at once recognized as being the finest pink aster. We 
quote from the November, 1937, issue of the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society Magazine, Horticulture, as follows— 
“The aster, Harrington’s Pink, is the only true pink aster 
which has appeared at the Waltham (Mass.) Field Station 
since the organized study of the genus was begun in 1932. 
During this period, nearly three hundred species and varieties 
have been observed.” 
Sturdy, vigorous grower, making a bushy plant 4 feet tall. 
Starts blooming in August and continues until frost, the 
freest blooming aster we have ever seen. The entire plant is 
simply covered with hundreds of the 
gloriously beautiful flowers. The blooms 
are a rich, pure pink, a color that fairly 
glows and sparkles, with a bright golden 
center. 
Mr. Harrington, during his life, gave 
plants to various friends. Last fall we saw 
some blooming near Cedar Rapids and 
Center Point, Iowa. We immediately 
arranged for their propagation and we are 
very proud to offer this Iowa origination 
to the people of the United States. 
We assure you that it will be one of the 
treasures of your garden.
