ing variety. September_ $1.40

SNOW SPRITE. (Snow Fairy). A very dwarf early September flowering 
variety, forming graceful plants a foot high. They are almost smothered 
with charming, semi-double white flowers_ 1.40 
ASTERS, HARDY. 
The following varieties of Upright Asters are new and improved varieties. 
Very large in bloom and extremely colorful. The old varieties that have 
been handled for years have practically passed out of the picture. For 
mass planting, the following varieties are tops: 
BLUE GEM. Large lovely flowers of blue with a yellow center. Double 
flowers. Best blue in cultivation. September until frost. 3 to 4 ft_ .95 
RED ROVER. The first red Fall Aster. Deep rosy red flowers with golden 
center; buds bright red. Free blooming, compact habit. September to 
frost. 3 to 4 ft_ .95 
ROYAL BLUE. Flowers are large, an attractive shade of rich deep blue. 
Very effective from late August on. Splendid for cutting. 2% ft_ .95 
BUDDLEIA. 
FORTUNE. (Plant Patent No. 206). In Buddleia Fortune we believe that 
the shortcomings in Buddleia have been overcome, for we believe it is 
close to perfection. The bush or shrub is of very neat habit, about 
four ft. high and four ft. across, with none of the wild and rough grow¬ 
ing characteristics of the older varieties. Pure lilac in color with a 
brilliant orange eye in each tiny flower. Foliage, deep, leathery dark 
green. Sprays from 12 to 18 in. long. Flowers are produced in super¬ 
abundance all summer and autumn until stopped by frost. The flower 
sprays are fully round, and bloom from base to tip at practically the 
same time. Grand for cutting, with stems two to three ft. long if 
desired, and keep well in water. Also a beautiful plant for the flower 
garden. (Retails, 85c each; $8.50 per 12.)- 3.50 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS, CUSHION, HARDY (RG). 
A group of low-growing Chrysanthemums, forming mounds of blooms, 
reminding one of the old-fashioned Azalea. The plants grow about 
10 or 12 in. high and spread 2 ft. or more. They flower quite 
early. All during September they are literally covered with hundreds 
of flowers which last over a long period. All are descendants of the 
Chrysanthemum Amelia, more often called Pink Cushion Chrysanthemum. 
We recommend handling these as pot plants. 
BRONZE CUSHION. As the flowers first open they are warm rich red 
bronze, then turning to a bronzy yellow with a light red center giving 
a delightful effect. Later, lighten to a beautiful golden bronze shade- 1.40 
* KING CUSHION. Pure fiery red. Multitude of beautiful 2 to 2% in. flowers. 
A startling contrast to anything that has so far been introduced_ 1.40 
PINK CUSHION. Flowers open to a deep orchid pink then change to a light 
orchid with a creamy center finally salmon pink with a soft yellow center. 
Has a record of 3000 flowers the first year. Very hardy- .95 
QUEEN CUSHION. Snow white flowers with a faint yellow center. This 
variety should be planted with the brighter colors to get the full effect 
of the flower and a contrast of colors_ 1.40 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS, HARDY. 
These Chrysanthemums are available for early spring delivery only and 
are offered in a 2 in. pot plant. Each plant will be shipped with the 
original ball, potted in Neponset green paper pots, properly packed so as to 
insure 100% delivery. These better types of Chrysanthemums are hard 
to handle as dormant plants and for that reason, we recommend the 
pot plants and you may rest assured you will have 100% stand on these 
plants and blooms the first year. 
ALADDIN. Rich apricot bronze in color. As they get older, they turn to a 
gorgeous array of Apricot Red and Gold blossoms. Makes a marvelous 
display early in the summer until frost. 18 in- 
RED FLARE. The first bright red garden variety. It is of the Pom Pom type, 
about 2 in. in diameter, a little larger than the varieties belonging to 
the intermediate section. Height 20 in.; strong upright growth. Matures 
about the middle of October- 
VIVID. A very striking and effective variety, color a rosy crimson or amaranth 
shade, new to the earlier flowering Chrysanthemums. Blooms in Septem¬ 
ber. 3 ft-
