N OVELTIES anc/ Of hen Rare Flowers 
Achillea ageratifolia 
PERENNIAL 
One of those dwarf perennials that we are forever seeking 
for the rock-garden. This one has narrow, comb-like, downy 
leaves forming fine gray-white cushions, above which appear 
fairly large pure white flower-heads in profusion from March 
to May. Give it a sunny, warm position with loose, well- 
drained soil. Pkt. 75 cts. 
Aster, Improved Crego, Enchantress (Wilt-resistant) 
.Recommended, 1938 All-America Selections. A great 
/big fluffy Aster of an exquisite shade of salmon-rose. The 
flowers are large, the stems are long, and the delicate color 
is one that is easy to use. Pkt. 50 cts. 
Calendula, Twilight 
It is a pleasure to be able to offer a new color in the lovely 
Chrysantha Calendulas, especially when it is as beautiful as 
is this new variety. The flowers measure 4 inches across, with 
slender, incurved petals, and the color is a soft creamy 
yellow. Plants average 2 feet in height with 15 to 18-inch 
stems. Length of stem and dainty coloring make this a peer¬ 
less cut-flower. Pkt. 35 cts. 
Campanula collina perennial 
The Caucasian Bellflower has upright, compact, bushy 
plants rarely over 8 inches tall. It blooms during May and 
June, with great masses of intense Campanula-blue pendent 
bells. Fits into all kinds of uses. Pkt. 50 cts. 
Calendula, Twilight 
Aster, Giant Comet, Illusion (Wilt-resistant) 
.Recommended, All-America Selections. The plants grow 
/about 2 feet tall, branch from the ground up, and every 
branch is tipped with a medium-sized, loosely double 
flower of soft apricot-pink. As the plant is just one huge 
bouquet, a good way to use it is to cut the plant off at the 
ground as it comes into full bloom. 
Arranged in a large vase, one plant 
makes a unique and pleasing decora¬ 
tion. Pkt. 50 cts. 
Aster, Early Giant, Light Blue 
(Wilt-resistant) 
® Silver Medal, 1939 All-America 
Selections. Glorious big lacy flow¬ 
ers with the petals twisted and 
interlaced appear singly on unusually 
long stems for cutting. The flowers are 
at least 5 inches in diameter of an en¬ 
trancing shade of light blue. This is 
just about the nicest new cut-flower 
we have seen this season. See in color 
on page 1. Pkt. 50 cts.
