See color pages for other perennials. 
ARTEMISIA, Silver King. (Ghost Plant). A plant much used to give 
contrast because of its striking almost white or silver foliage. Fine to 
use as a filler in bouquets, and also excellent for winter bouquets. 
BLEEDING HEART (Dicentra spectabilis). This is one of the old-time 
flowers from grandmother's garden, of which we will never tire. The 
flowers, which are pink with a white center and heart-shaped, come 
in long, graceful, drooping racemes. Foliage is fernlike and dainty. A 
valuable flower for planting in the shade. Very hardy and lives year 
after year. Grows 1 to 2 feet tall and blooms in May. 
Large divisions, 50c; 12 for $5.00 
GYPSOPHILA Bodgeri (Double Baby’s Breath). In a beautiful delicate 
shade of pale pink. Something very fine. Each 50c 
GYPSOPHILA, Bristol Fairy (Double Baby's Breath). Pure white, small, 
double flowers larger and more beautiful than the single variety. 
Extremely tasty for bouquet work. Each 50c 
HELENIUM, Chippersfield Orange. Flowers in very large heads, many 
to the stem, with an orange-splashed flame-mahogany disk. One of 
the best of the Heleniums and a great addition to our late summer 
flowers. Blooms through August and September. Extremely brilliant 
and showy. 
LIATRIS or Blazing Star. A fine hardy perennial that is not only very 
odd but also in the newer kinds very beautiful. Most varieties start 
to bloom from the top down the long blooming spikes which they 
throw up. One should have a plant of each kind to have one always 
in bloom. 
Callilepsis. A good striking midseason variety with long, heavy 
blooming spikes in a medium shade of purple. 
Spicata. Spikes about three feet high of a nice purple. Comes be- 
fore Pycnostachya. 
Pycnostachya. Comes after Spicata in midseason. Comes in long, 
narrow spikes of a very rich purple, four feet long, which last a 
long time. 
September Glory. A great big six-foot spike all in bloom at one time, 
making a wonderful sensation. A rich live brilliant purple. 
White Spire. A sport from September Glory. Just as large as that 
variety but a pure white. 
LYTHRUM, Mordena (Purple Loosestrife). This is a new Lythrum 
brought out by the Canadian Experimental Farm at Morden, 
Manitoba. We think it the best of all the Lythrum and a great 
improvement over old types. Long upright growing stems just 
covered their length with little deep bright rose-pink flowers. This 
is a good one. Showy plants for moist, shady borders, and water- 
sides. This is a Lythrum of real merit. The older sorts are not so 
desirable because of their dull color. But this is a bright, attrac- 
tive pink and we received many words of real praise from our last 
season’s customers. You will like it. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
PYRETHRUM (Painted Daisy). We have three new varieties in this 
favorite spring blooming perennial. 
Robinson’s Dark Crimson. Single, large, disklike flowers of an intense 
rich dark crimson color. Long stems. Fine for cutting. 
Ruby Red. Splendid variety in an intense ruby-red shade. 
Startler. An extremely fine deep crimson-rose. 
RUDBECKIA purpurea. The giant purple Coneflower. Attractive rosy 
purple flowers with a large brown, cone-shaped center. Blooms 
through July to frost. 
SCABIOSA, Isaac House Hybrids. One of the loveliest and most de- 
pendable of all perennials. The flowers come in a soft delicate shade 
of lavender. 18- to 24-inch fine cutting stems. Splendid cut flower. 
STATICE latifolia (Sea Lavender). A great flower to dress bouquets 
with, both summer and winter. Long stems, which are fine for cut- 
ting, branch out into great heads 18 inches across, made up of minute 
blue flowers.

N.A. are of the Novae- 
Angliae type and are tall, 
erect, and larger flowering. 
N.B. are of the Novi- 
Belgi type and are more 
profuse in branching and 
flowering. 

ADORABLE. N.A. One of the Harrington's Pink type, introduced soon 
after this wonderful variety. Habit and growth of the plant is similar, 
but the color is a slightly deeper salmon and a trifle purer pink. 
Everyone who sees this one in our fields orders it. 
AMETHYST. N°:B. This new variety is perhaps the most double of all 
varieties we list. The flowers are large, blue in color, with shades of 
purple. Plant blooms profusely. 
BARR’S PINK. N.A. One of the largest and finest of pink Asters. The 
plant at maturity reaches a height of about 4 feet. Fine used as a 
background for lower growing perennials. A real gem. 
BLUE GOWN. N.B. This new Aster has huge semi-double blossoms of 
deep china-blue. Its tall branching stems make it an ideal variety for 
cutting. A wonderful deep blue. 
CLIMAX. N.B. One 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. N.A. This variety was introduced after Barr's 
Pink. This is the first truly pink Aster we had seen. It is a brighter 
a purer pink than Barr’s and makes a fine cut flower. Height 314 
eet. 
MAMMOTH. N.B. The flowers are a lovely warm lavender shade, liter- 
ally covering the plant. Long side sprays are ideal for cutting. 
Height, 5 to 6 feet. 
MT. RAINIER. N.A. A lovely pure white of the same type as Harring- 
ton’s Pink and as fine a white as that variety is a pink. Plants cov- 
fe during September with large, pure white double flowers. Height 
eet. 
RED CLOUD. Here is a bright rosy red that holds its color well in the 
field. A new Aster: same type as Harrington’s Pink. 
SPECIAL ASTER OFFER 
One each of the foregoing 9 Asters for $2.75, prepaid. 

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
In planting these Asters take note that it is the little new sprouts or 
suckers springing from the base of the stem of the old plant that form 
the coming year’s growth. Be sure to handle these carefully in planting. 
Tops of these coming sprouts should be 2 inches under ground. Use 
water in planting. Press soil firm and then keep ground stirred loose 
over top. Use a mulch over your plants each winter.
