FALL BLOOMING ASTERS 
Plant these brilliant fall-blooming hardy Asters and prolong your blooming season a full month. Have your garden a place of dazzling splendor 
when all about is brown and sere. They will bring a world of color during late September, all of October, and on into November until heavy 
freezing kills the flowers. These plants stand our Minnesota winters unprotected. 
These late-blooming Asters should be in every garden as they give a mass of color after all other flowers are gone except the hardy outdoor 
Chrysanthemums. 
There has been a wonderful improvement in these fall Asters of late years just as with many other flowers. As new varieties come that are better 
than the older sorts, we test them out and offer our customers a constantly improving assortment. We want everyone who does not have them 
to try out one or more kinds. 
Prices of all Asters, unless otherwise priced: Each, 25c; 3 for 60c. 
BARR'S PINK. One of the largest and finest of pink Asters. The plant 
at maturity reaches a height of about 4 feet. Fine used as a back¬ 
ground for lower growing perennials. A real gem. 
BEECHWOOD CHALLENGER. A free flowering clear crimson-red with 
a bright yellow center. The best red Aster yet offered. Height i /2 
feet. Each, 50c; 3 for $1.25. 
BLUE GEM. This is considered the best blue yet introduced. The flow¬ 
ers are double, rich in their deep blue coloring, and borne profusely 
on their 3-foot stems. 
CLIMAX. O ne of the best and we believe the largest of all the light 
blue varieties. The rich blue flowers are as large as a half dollar and 
a single plant often carries 500 blossoms. Height 5 feet. 
HARRINGTON'S PINK. For color this is surely the finest of all pink 
Asters. We were one of the firms to whom the originator sent plants 
for testing. Up to that time Barr’s Pink was the best we had ever seen, 
but Harrington’s Pink is a brighter and purer pink. Height 3 feet. 
Each 50c; 3 for $1.25. 
MAMMOTH. A lovely warm lavender shade. A strong upright grower 
to a height of from 5 to 6 ft. Long side sprays which are ideal for 
cutting. The flowers cover the plant. Each, 50c; 3 for $1.25. 
MOUNT EVEREST. By far the finest and best white. Florets are as large 
as Climax and this is a fitting companion for that wonderful blue. An 
abundant bloomer. Height 3 to 4 feet. Each, 35c; 3 for $1.00. 
MRS. RAYNOR. Another new red Aster that many claim as the best. 
You will like both Mrs. Raynor and Beechwood Challenger. Height 
3 to 4 feet. Each, 35c; 3 for $1.00. 
QUEEN MARY. The flowers of this new variety are often I /2 inches 
in diameter. The color is a brilliant blue tinted lavender. A pleasing 
variety. Height 3 feet. Each, 35c; 3 for $1.00. 
SUNSET. A soft glowing sunset-pink. A nice shapely growing plant 
to about 3 feet. Very free flowering and a splendid delicate pink. 
ST. EGWIN. A medium to dwarf pink seldom growing over 18 inches. 
The plant forms a perfect dome covered with hundreds of bright pink 
blossoms. Often a single stem can be cut with over 500 blossoms. 
VICTOR. The dwarfest of all dwarfs, and exceedingly pretty. The 
flowers are large and of a beautiful clear lavender-blue. Fine for the 
rock garden or for a border plant.

As Fine as Can Be Obtained Anywhere 
The Aquilegias or Columbines are among the most elegant of the hardy perennial plants. They 
do well in full sun, but are best suited to semi-shady locations. They are most commonly used 
in the long-spurred mixtures which cover a wide range of soft, delicate, distinct shades. 
We have made quite a study of the Columbines of late years and have taken great pains to 
secure the seed from the very best strains as a foundation in our plantings. 
Columbine in Separate Colors 
Some distinct varieties have been developed. Groups of a single va¬ 
riety may be planted to produce desired color effects. 
Prices for Columbine in separate colors: Each 35c; 6 for $1.75; 
12 for $3.00, postpaid. 
WONDERFUL COLUMBINE MIXTURES 
The Columbine has been brought to perfection in England. Great 
attention has been paid this flower there and it is from England that 
the best Columbine have come. We are offering two great English mix¬ 
tures. The very best in Columbine. 
AZURE FAIRY. A beautiful azure-blue Columbine. Very dainty and 
effective where a bed of a single color is desired. 
BLUE KING. A still deeper shade of blue than Azure Fairy. 
BLUE PERFECTION. Another very fine blue in an entirely different 
selection. 
COERULEA. This is the beautiful light blue Columbine of the Rocky 
Mountains. The state flower of Colorado. 
COPPER QUEEN. As the name suggests, a fine Columbine in the cop¬ 
pery shades. 
CRIMSON AND GOLD. Beautiful shades of red with golden throats. 
CRIMSON STAR. A deep coppery red with a white or light creamy 
yellow throat. When this variety is planted in mass its effect is the 
most sensational of all Columbine.

An unusually delicate and pleasing shade. 
IOWA GIANTS. A mixture of different shades and colors. Selection 
made for fine flowers of largest size.

derful blended mixture.
