novi-belgii, Alderman Volkes. The New York 
Asters are distinguished from the New Eng- 
land type, by the finer foliage and more 
branching habit. A well grown, single plant 
of this type may be a rounded mound four 
feet each way. Staking is needed to keep them 
erect, but they fill a place at the back of the 
border, covering spots left by summer bloom- 
ers. This is a rosy red form, growing not 
much over 2 feet high.

Dwarf Hybrids, Blue Bouquet. The dwarf 
Asters were developed in the war ceme- 
teries in France, for use on poor dry soil. 
They are small, and compact, and give a 
tremendous display of color on the poorest, 
driest soils. This is the darkest blue form. 
Dwarf, Countess of Dudley. Clear pink. 
Dwarf, Daphne. A lovely soft pink. 
Dwarf, Lady Henry Maddocks. Clear, pale 
pink. 
Dwarf, Niobe. Very compact white. 
Dwarf, Snow Sprite. Semi-double white flowers. 
A very fine plant. 
Dwarf, Victor. Clear lavender blue. 
Dwarf, Campbell’s Pink. Does not belong in this 
section, and may be an A. acris form. Grows 
to 2 feet high, dense twiggy bushes, full of 
rosy pink flowers in September. Very choice. 
ASTILBE. Astilbe or Spirea. These plants 
belong in the family of Saxifrages, and those 
we grow are all from Asia, though there are 
native forms. They are of easy culture in 
heavy moist soils, and can withstand wet 
feet, though dwarfed by too much moisture. 
They are very useful in the border since they 
have permanently good foliage, and flower 
over a long period. Newer forms lend them- 
selves well for edgings, or for the rockery.

crispa, Immon. The crispa group are new- 
comers. They are very compact, the foliage 
densely crisped, and close to the ground. This 
has tiny bright purple spikes, in June. We 
expect to have plants in small pots, of this 
and the other crispa sorts, only.

Hybrid, Fanal. The very best red we have seen. 
It is not tall, perhaps at most, 2 feet high. 
The slender spikes are truly red, however, and

BAPTISIA. False or Wild Indigo. A _ group 
of plants of the Pea family, native to North 
America, on dry lands, in full sun. Any good 
soil grows them well. Useful as specimens or 
in the back of the border or wild garden. One 
form is commonly grown. 
australis. May grow to 6 feet, but usually is 
about 4 feet high, a clump of many stems grey 
blue, and tipped with a cluster of dark blue 
pea-like flowers. July. Attractive in foliage 
after the blooms fade, and could be used in 
ornamental plantings of shrubs, for contrast. 
35 cts. each. 
BERGENIA. Megasea. These plants of the 
Saxifrage family have long been known as 
Megaseas, but are now classified as above.
