New and Noteworthy Plants 
*ACTINEA herbacea. 
This choice rock-plant from the mid-West deserves to be better known. 
The bright yellow, daisy-like flowers are a pleasing contrast to the silky 
foliage. 8 in. May. 30 cts. each. 
*4ETHIONEMA, Warley Rose. 
You will not want to miss having this delightful gem. The charming 
daphne-like flowers are as distinctive as the foliage effect of blue-green 
with a pinkish glow. 6in. May-July. 35 cts. each. 
ANTHEMIS, Moonlight. 
A pale yellow form of an old favorite with unusually large blossoms. 
Grow it in full sun and in poor soil to keep it from getting too rampant.

HARDY ASTERS 
Beechwood Challenger. . 
Definitely in the red color-bracket. This hardy Aster will add a rich 
note to your autumn border. 31% ft. Sept., Oct. 35 cts. each. 
Frikarti, Wonder of Staefa. 
We feel that there are many garden makers who have not yet made 
the acquaintance of this worth-while Aster from Switzerland. The large, 
single, lavender-blue flowers are pleasingly accentuated with bright 
yellow centers. To make an effective mass of bloom, pin the side shoots 
to the ground. 2% ft. Aug.-Oct. 30 cts. each. 
Harrington’s Perfected Pink. 
A pure pink hardy Aster of the New England type. It can be relied 
on to make a first-rate display and it will never become a weed. 4 ft. 
Sept., Oct. 35 cts. each. 
SEPTEMBER FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Acacia. 
The myriads of small, glittering, really fragrant blossoms make this 
sulphur-yellow variety distinctive. 2 ft. Late Sept. 35 cts. each. 
Algonquin. 
A neighboring nurseryman spotted this variety in our field, bought 
a number of plants to exhibit at a flower show and won a first prize. Its 
showy yellow blossoms should do as much for you! 2 ft. Aug.-Oct. 
35 cts. each. 
Autumn Lights. 
Here is a coppery bronze companion with double blossoms to plant 
with the two varieties listed above. It is unusually hardy and the dark 
green foliage adds to its beauty. 114 ft. Late Sept. 35 cts. each. 
Clara Curtis. 
We were among the first to import this popular variety from England. 
The dainty, single, pink blooms are borne in large clusters on plants of 
compact form. Very hardy. 2 ft. Early Sept. 30 cts. each. 
Little Bob. 
After testing it out we can give high praise to this new dwarf sort 
which produces hundreds of mahogany-bronze buttons and is far superior 
to the Cushion ‘Mums. 14 ft. Sept. 30 cts. each.
