Hardy Fall Asters 
(Michaelmas Daisies) 
ASTER novae-angliae, Barr’s Pink. 4 ft. Strong and 
vigorous with masses of double pink flowers. Give 
it plenty of room and take all the bouquets you like. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
A. novi-belgi, Amethyst. 3-4 ft. A nearly double Aster 
of a deep purple'blue color. The flowers are large 
and attractive. Mr. Ballard rates Amethyst as one of 
the best of his introductions. Each, 35c; 3 for 90c. 
Beechwood Challenger. 3 ft. This is the closest ap* 
proach to a red of any Aster we have been privileged 
to see. The flower color is exceedingly brilliant and 
well set off by the dark green foliage. The earlier 
varieties in this color class appear washed out and 
faded by direct comparison with this variety. Will 
do well in practically any sunny location. Each, 35c; 
3 for 90c. 
Blue Plume. 3 ft. Deepest and truest blue. New and 
definitely superior. Semi'double. Each, 35c; 3 for 
90c. 
Little Boy Blue. 18'24 in. The most free flowering of 
any Aster. A medium height variety and the first to 
bloom, making a two'foot mound of bright blue. 
Each, 35c; 3 for 90c. 
Little Pink Lady. 18'24 in. A companion to Little Boy 
Blue. The same semi'dwarf type of growth, but pink 
in color. Each, 35c; 3 for 90c. 
Mt. Everest. 4' 5 ft. The finest white hardy Aster. Forms 
glistening pyramids of pure white large double Asters 
with a very small golden eye. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Mulberry. A rich warm mulberry. This shade is a new 
and welcome addition to the color range of the hardy 
Asters. The flowers are large and semi'double. Each, 
35c; 3 for 90c. 
Radiance. 3 ft. A large semi'double deep pink Aster 
with a bright golden center. Each, 35c; 3 for 90c. 
Red Rover. 3'4 ft. Deep rosy red double flowers with 
golden centers. Small but produced in profusion. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Skylands Queen. A low, spreading plant with large, 
light blue, single flowers. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Dwarf Hardy Asters 
Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Countess of Dudley. 1 ft. Very deep pink. Latest 
to bloom. Sept, into Oct. 
Lilac Time. 12'15 in. One of the finest. Soft lilac 
and very prolific bloomer. Blooms Sept.'Oct. 
Marjorie. 10 in. Bright pink. Blooms from mid' 
Sept, until first of Oct. 
Niobe. 10 in. The best white. Low and compact. 
Blooms Sept.'Oct. 
CAMPANULA garganica. A rock or wall garden gem. 
From its tiny tuft of glossy green foliage prostrate 
branches creep in all directions, sprinkled in June with 
light blue, starlike flowers, large for the size of the 
plant. Plant these Campanulas in chinks in a wall and 
they will soon send a cascade of blue tumbling over 
the stones. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM, Astrid. The first hybrid of the 
extremely hardy species, C. arcticum, to be intro' 
duced. The single daisydike flowers, rose'pink in 
color, are borne on branching stems. Terminal flow' 
ers are 3 inches or more in diameter. The light green 
foliage seems particularly resistant to insects and 
diseases. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM maximum, Esther Read. 2 
feet. Esther Read is a Daisy—many will call it a 
Shasta Daisy—pure white in color and so double 
that it has no golden center at all, the whole flow' 
er head being taken up with petals laying, one 
neatly overlapping row after another, to the very 
center of the bloom. The plant is an exceedingly 
prolific bloomer, in fact it has a tendency to bloom 
itself to death if some of the Daisies are not picked 
to relieve the plant of the drain of energy used up 
in flowering. Esther Read will probably be classed 
as the foremost white cut flower in the garden of 
tomorrow. Each, 75c; 3 for #1.80. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM maximum, Ophelia (Shasta 
Daisy). Very large single white daisies blooming 
from June until September. Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM, Pink Cushion. 12 inches. 
Dwarf, with wholesale quantities of bright pink, 
double flowers from midsummer until hard freezes. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
Chrysanthemum Maximum (Shasta Daisy)
