shade of color with some varieties very useful as cut-flower 
subjects. Since they are rampant growers it is not necessary to 
grow them in large quantities in order to have a splendid show 
during the month of September.

fine sturdy grower, attaining a height of about 4 feet. The red 
color shows up in delightful contrast with the bright yellow

large, open flowers with pale yellow center. A vigorous growing, 
well branched plant that comes into bloom early September. 
Height about 4 feet. Excellent for cutting and decorative work.

Aster, or Michaelmas Daisy introduced to date. Clear shining 
pink in color, making a magnificent foil for the many handsome 
blue and white varieties already in cultivation. Large flowers of 
bright dainty pink, attaining a height of about two or two and 
a half feet. Price: 35ec per plant, $3.50 per dozen, 
$25.00 per 100. (Illustrated Page 35.)

well shaped, pointed pyramids with an abundance of lateral 
growths which flower right down to the ground. The flowers are 
pie 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.

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. 
* + Violetta—tThe finest blue Aster in a collection of 425 varie- 
ties. Flowers from the ground up, unlike other types of Hardy 
Asters, and is a rich violet blue in color. A splendid cut flower 
as well as a beautiful subject for mass effect. Height, 3 feet. 
Flowering in September and October. Price: 75e each, 
$7.50 per dozen for 21!4-ineh pot plants. 
+ White Climax—Pure white. 4 feet high. 
*+Wonder of Staefa—Exceptionally large flowers, almost 
21% 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 decorations, the finest Aster introduced.

100.

Dwarf Hybrid (Border Asters 
These Asters make magnificent border subjects and are splen- 
didly 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. 
* Alpine White—A dwarf Hardy Aster, flowering in late May. 
* Namey—Of dwarf bushy habit and very free-flowering, the 
plants being covered with pale flesh-pink flowers toward the end 
of September and early October, 9 inches.

9 inches high. Flowering in September and October.

+Australis—Very attractive dark blue, pea shaped flowers in 
long curving 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.

+; Asteroides—Flower heads pure white; flowering at the same 
time as the popular Michaelmas Daisies. 5 to 6 feet. 
+}Latisquama—Beautiful pink flowers. Same type as above. 5 
feet. 
*BEGONIA 
}};Evansiana—A perfectly hardy Begonia which will live out- 
doors during the winter if protected with just a few leaves. 
Showy pink flowers borne with the greatest profusion during 
September and October. Exceptionally nice plant for all sum- 
mer bloom in shady locations. Height about 2 to 2% ft. 
Just before going dormant several dozens of small bulblets, 
which form on the stem, drop to the ground. These come up in 
the Spring and help to spread the colony of bulbs very rapidly. 
No care need be given these young bulbs. They handle them- 
selves beautifully. Priee: 35e each, $3.50 per dozen. 
+White Bouquet (Patent Rights Reserved)—A new hardy 
Buddleia with extra long, rounded spikes of pure white glisten- 
ing flowers. The lower florets on the spikes remain clean until 
all buds open. Very fragrant and the dark green foliage has a 
lovely silvery sheen, a perfect setting for the blooms. The white 
seedling of the popular “Ile de France” and just as hardy. This 
was a long wanted Shrub, because white in the garden during 
the Summer months is very much sought after, and this variety 
flowers from July until frost and will give quantities of cut 
flowers for the home. The long, graceful sprays are very decora- 
tive and a delightful acquisition in bouquets with other Sum- 
mer flowers. (2144” pot plants for Spring delivery.) Price: 
aoe each, 3 plants for $2.00, 12 plants for 
De 50.
