Harringon’s Pink 
tHarrington’s Pink—The very handsomest pink hardy 
Aster, or Michaelmas Daisy introduced to date. Clear shin- 
ing 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: 35¢ per plant, 
$3.50 per dozen, $25.00 per 100. 
+Mount Everest—A wonderful white Aster. It forms very 
tall, well shaped, pointed pyramids with an abundance of 
lateral growths which flower right down to the ground. The 
flowers are large and dead white with a very small eye. 
Healthy foliage. 3-4 feet. 
+Red Rover—Rich deep wine red. Looks like double flow- 
ers when first opening, but forming a distinctive cup with 
gold disk at the bottom when fully mature. A very strong 
grower. 
*+Star of Wartburg—A giant form with large individual 
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. 
*Survivor (Patent pending)—This novelty introduced for 1942 
received the “Award of Merit’’ at the Harvest Show of the 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society in 1940 and, among 400 
varieties in the testing garden, it was the outstanding plant. 
“Survivor” is superior to he popular “Harrington's Pink” be- 
cause it flowers later in the season extending the season two 
weeks longer, has larger flowers of the same bright Rose- 
Pink color and the plants have more open habit of growth. 
Price: 60c each, $5.00 per dozen. 
* + Violetta—The 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: 50c 
each, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
*+tWonder of Staefa—Exceptionally large flowers, almost 
2% inches across, of a soft wisteria-violet shade, with large 
yellow centers. This Aster has a longer blooming period than 
Page Thirty-four 
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 in- 
troduced. Price: 35¢ each, $3.50 per dozen, $25.00 
per 100.

magnificent colors and free flowering habit, Also they are in
