HARDY ASTERS 
These are among the showiest of our late 
flowering hardy plants, giving a wealth of 
bloom at a season when most other hardy

grow freely in any soil. We have red and 
white and blue.

fectly hardy here. Flowers come on well- 
branched stems, about two feet high. Very 
pretty red and blooms a long time. Flow¬

HARDY AGERATUM 
. f

in August and September. Grows about 2 
feet high and will bloom in dense shade. 
A fine cutting flower. 
STATICE (Great Sea Bavender). A mass 
of dainty, purplish blue flowers in July and 
August. Much used for winter bouquets, 
as well as best adapted for Rock Gardens. 
SHASTA DAISIES 
Remarkably large, semi-double daisies, 
3 to 4 inches across and pure white, with 
petals in two or more rows about a golden 
center. The plant is extra vigorous and 
maintains a fine show of great flowers 
throughout the summer and autumn. A 
splendid border plant and of great value 
for cutting. My plants are strong, field 
grown and will bloom abundantly the first 
season. 
HARTJE DAISY. This is an improved 
Shasta Daisy, much larger flowers, longer 
stems and earlier. 
DELPHINIUM 
(Earkspur) 
One of the finest sights of modern gar¬ 
dens is a fine collection of blooming Lark¬ 
spurs. They give us the greatest abund¬ 
ance of flowers and utmost variety in tints 
and shades of blue during June and July. 
The Delphiniums make good border back¬ 
grounds. Although plants thrive in any 
good garden soil, a deep, rich, loamy one. 
with sunny exposure is best.
