TOTTY’S 
HARDY PERENNIALS 
Star of Wartburg 
ASTERS (Continued) 
Star of Wartburg—A giant form with large individual flower? 
on fine strong, erect stems a foot high. Blooms very early and 
makes a fine display with its dark Lilac-blue flowers with 
orange center. 
White Climax —Pure white. 4 feet high. 
*Wonder of Staefa —Exceptionally large flowers, almost 2% 
inches across, of a soft wisteria-violet shade, with large yellow 
centers. This Aster has a longer blooming period than any 
other variety, flowering from late August to frost. The habit of 
growth is open and branched, so that the individual flowers are 
displayed to their fullest beauty. We consider it both for cutting 
and table decorations, the finest Aster introduced. Price: 
$3.50 per dozen, $25.00 per 100. 
BAPTISIA (False-Indigo) 
Australis —Very attractive dark blue, pea shaped flowers in long 
curving racemes, somewhat similar to Lupines, but more hardy 
in every way. Blooms in June and is about 2 feet high. Suitable 
for the hardy border or wild garden and not at all particular as 
to soil requirements. 
BOLTONIA (False-camomile) 
Asteroides —Flower heads pure white; flowering at the same 
time as the popular Michaelmas Daisies. 5 to 6 feet. 
Latisquama —Beautiful pink flowers. Same type as above. 5 
feet. 
BUDDLEIA 
Dubonnet (Butterfly Bush) —Again this season we are fortu¬ 
nate in being able to offer our customers an entirely new color 
in Buddleia,—the color is an exact counterpart of the popular 
French Wine Dubonnet, a shade which has recently been popu¬ 
larized in dress fabrics. In sunshine and under the lamp it 
glows almost a true red. The firm cylindrical spikes are snugly 
set with individual flowers of good size that do not sunburn. 
The plant is of robust erect growth with strong stems; the 
leaves are large and of firm leathery texture. A good late Sum¬ 
mer cut-flower harmonizing well with other outdoor blooms. 
Price: $1.00 per plant, $10.00 per dozen. 
“Charming” —In this we have a real outstanding novelty among 
the Fall flowering Shrubs. Vigorous and very free flowering, 
producing a profusion of large lavender pink trusses continu¬ 
ously throughout the Summer. Not only a striking ornament 
for the garden, but also extremely valuable as a late Summer 
cut-flower. Small young plants set out in the Spring quickly 
grow to a height of 4 to 6 feet and of about the same diameter. 
Few other plants have attracted as much attention and favor¬ 
able comment when shown for the first time. We suggest the 
pinching off in July of the first flower spikes showing, to aid 
the development of side shoots which will bring better flowers 
later in the season. Price: 50$ per plant, $5.00 per dozen. 
lie de France —A symmetrical bushy Shrub, attaining a height 
of 3 to 4 feet with long spikes of fragrant flowers of vivid 
violet-purple in color. Blooms the latter part of July until late 
in September. Price: 35$ per plant, $3.50 per dozen. 
Magnifica Gigantia —One of the largest flowering of the 
Buddleia family with stems 5 to 6 feet long and an inflorescence 
of two or more feet. Beautiful shade of orchid lavender and one 
of the finest Buddleia to grow in your garden for cut-flower 
purposes. Price: 35$ per plant, $3.50 per dozen. 
DWARF HYBRID BORDER 
ASTERS 
These Asters make magnificent border subjects and are splen¬ 
didly adapted for rock garden work since they only attain a height 
of about 9 inches and are absolutely covered with flowers during 
the month of September. They are an acquisition to rock garden 
enthusiasts on account of their magnificent colors and free flower¬ 
ing habit. Also they are in flower at a time when flowers in the 
rock garden are scarce. 
* Countess of Dudley —Charming clear pink flowers with yellow 
eye, of bushy habit and free-flowering. October. 1 foot. 
*Lady Henry Maddocks —Clear pale pink flowers, very free- 
flowering and of dwarf compact habit. September-October. 7 
inches. 
* Lilac Time —Lovely soft lilac flowers, free flowering, of bushy 
habit. September-October. 12 inches. 
* Nancy —Of dwarf bushy habit and very free-flowering, the 
plants being covered with pale flesh-pink flowers toward the end 
of September and early October. 9 inches. 
* Victor —The dwarf est of all and very pretty. The flowers are of 
good size and of a beautiful clear pale lavender-blue; a charm¬ 
ing rock-plant, flowering mid-September. 6 inches.

These lovely flowers have a great variety of color and form and 
the taller varieties are useful for cut-flowers as well as in the 
hardy border. 
Medium —White, pink. 
Calycanthema —Cup-and-saucer. Blue, white, lavender. 
Double —Blue, white, pink.

flowers, this variety is a most beautiful and attractive plant for 
the Perennial border. Excellent for cutting. 2 to 2% feet.
