HARDY PEREMIALS (continued) 
Price: 30c per plant. 3 plants 75c. 12 plants $3.00. unless otherwise noted 
Mount Everest—A wonderful white Aster. It forms very 
tall, well shaped, pointed pyramids with an abundance of 
lateral growths which flower right down to the ground. 
The flowers are large and dead white with a very small 
eye. Healthy foliage. 3-4 feet. 
Red Rover—Rich deep wine red. Looks like double flowers 
when first opening, but forming a distinctive cup with 
gold disk at the bottom when fully mature. A very strong 
grower. 
Royal Blue—This is a large blue, apparently double at first, 
but when it opens fully, it forms distinct cup shape flower 
with a golden disk at the bottom. Medium height. Blooms 
early September. 2Yi feet high. 
*Star of Wartburg—A giant form with large individual 
flowers 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'/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 decora¬ 
tions, the finest Aster introduced. Price: $3.50 per dozen, 
$25.00 per 100. 
Dwarf Hybrid Harder Asters 
These Asters make magnificent border subjects and are 
splendidly 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 flowering 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-Octo- 
ber. 7 inches.

plants being covered with pale flesh-pink flowers toward 
the end of September and early October. 9 inches. 
*Victor—The dwarfest of all and very pretty. The flowers 
are of good size and of a beautiful clear pale lavender- 
blue; a charming rock-plant, flowering mid-September. 
6 inches. 
BAPTISIA (False-Indigo) 
Australis—Very attractive dark blue, pea shaped flowers 
in long cuiwing 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.

same time as the popular Michaelmas Daisies. 5 to 6 feet. 
Latisquama—Beautiful pink flowers. Same type as above.

height of 3 to 4 feet with long spikes of fragrant flowers 
of vivid violet-purple in color. Blooms the latter part of

per dozen. 
Magnifica Gigantia—One of the largest flowering of the 
Buddleia family with stems 5 to 6 feet long and an in¬ 
florescence 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: 35c per plant, 
$3.50 per dozen. 
CAMPANULAS (Canterbury-bells or Bellflower) 
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. 
Blue Gardenia—A new and unusual Perennial Campanula, 
with blooms measuring about three inches across of per¬ 
fect Gardenia form, in a very lovely shade of brilliant 
blue. The stems are about 30 inches long, producing flow¬ 
ers practically the entire length. Holly-like dark green 
foliage. A very hardy grower, entirely disease resistant 
as grown with us. It requires no special care and only 
average soil to produce excellent results. This is the 
most outstanding introduction in Perennials for many 
years. Flowers in June and July. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 
per dozen. 
Medium—White, pink. 
Calycanthema—Cup-and-saucer. Blue, white, lavender. 
Double—Blue, white, pink. 
Persicifolia, “Telham Beauty”—One of the best introduc¬ 
tions of late years. With its single, rich blue, large, bell¬ 
shaped flowers, this variety is a most beautiful and at¬ 
tractive plant for the Perennial border. Excellent for 
cutting. 2 to 2]/2 feet. June, July. 
Double Blue—Deep blue form of the above. Price: 50c each, 
$5.00 per dozen. 
CENTAUREA (Knapweed) 
Montana—The Perennial Cornflower. Grows about 2 feet 
high, bearing large violet-blue flowers from July to Sep¬ 
tember. An excellent carrying color in the garden.

used very largely for planting dry, sunny spots. Carpet 
growth. May to mid-June.

producing long spikes of brilliant, scarlet flowers. Has 
not been grown very extensively in this country as yet.

*Lyonii—An old-fashioned Perennial that grows beauti¬ 
fully in acid soil, attaining a height of about two feet 
and producing deep pink flowers in late Summer and Fall. 
* Shell Pink—A delightful new form of the above, being the 
same hardy border plant, but the color is a wonderful 
shell pink, and the plant grows about 24 inches high. It 
comes into bloom in July and if the first bloom is cut 
back after the flowers have faded, it will send up second 
and third growth to carry the bloom into early September. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM MAXIMUM (Shasta Daisy) 
Chiffon—A daintily frilled Shasta which grows 18 inches 
tall. The flowers are formed by a double row of narrow 
petals, frilled and flared at the edges. The center is a 
clear yellow. The flower is about 3 inches across. The 
general effect in the garden and in a vase is one of light 
airiness and pleasing daintiness. 
Esther Read—Very large full double Anemone type, flowers 
of pure white, rare and unusual, flowering early in the 
year and continuing to do so until heavy frosts. The finest 
herbaceous plant that has been introduced in many years. 
Awarded prizes too numerous to mention. Price: 50c 
each, $5.00 per dozen. 
The Speaker—The finest of the Chrysanthemum Maximum 
type, with extremely large flowers.
