HARDY ASTERS 
FALL FLOWERING SECTION 
(Michaelmas Daisies) 
Acris Nanus. Lavender mauve flowers which are 
rather small in great profusion, 9-12 inches. 
Alderman Vokes. Extra fine medium blue, large flow¬ 
ers, 2-2 ^ feet. 
Beech wood Challenger. (New.) The finest of the red 
asters to date, grows 4-5 feet high with fine heads 
of bloom in late September. 35 cents each, $4.00 
doz. 
Burbanks Charming. A grand very late variety, ori¬ 
gin doubtful, blooms in mid-October and onwards. 
Grows 4-5 feet high but improved by pinching, 
loose feathery heads of very pale rose flowers. 
Charles Wilson. The darkest colored variety to date. 
Novi Belgii section, height 3 feet, color rosy red 
with yellow centre. 
Feltham Blue. Novi-Belgii section. Height 4 feet, 
pure blue September bloomer. 
Frikarti. var. Wonder of Stafa. Of Amellus section, 
rather slow of increase, extra large blue flowers in 
August and September, height 2-2*4 feet, one of 
the indispensables. 50 cents each. 
Gayborder Charm. Of Novi-Belgii type, height 2Vz 
feet, in good flower October 1, color deep rose. A 
very fine variety. 
Harringtons’ Pink. (New.) Of Novae-Angliae sec¬ 
tion. Here we have the first really pink hardy aster, 
planted late last season plants averaged 2*4-3 feet 
high and earlier planting will ensure bushy plants 
4-5 feet high, flowers are large and are in season 
Sept. 15 and onwards. This puts all other so-called 
pinks utterly in the shade and is easily the most 
outstanding hardy aster yet seen. Award of Merit 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society, October 5, 
1937. Early application is suggested as the demand 
this season will far exceed the supply. 50 cents 
each, $5.00 doz. 
Hybridus Luteus. (See Solidaster.) 
King George. Of amellus section. This is a very fine 
variety with large trusses of bluish-violet flowers 
2-2 *4 inches across, petals are wide, an early 
bloomer coming in advance of Frikarti.

Mount Everest. Easily the finest white aster, 4-5 feet 
high occasionally more, immense pyramidal heads 
of flowers. 35 cents each. 
Pink Progressive. Of Novi-Belgii section. One good 
feature is that flowers seem to virtually all open 
at the same time, 3-4 feet, color medium blue. 
Ptarmacoides. A native variety often known as the 
“baby's breath aster," small white flowers which 
suggest gypsophila, fine for cutting.
