tion. 
They are similar in habit to that of

in the alpine or rock garden. Flowering 
period extends from August to October.

varieties: 
*Blue Bouquet—Violet-blue flowers on 12- 
inch stems. 35c each.

ASTERS, Fall Flowering, or Michaelmas 
Daisies—We take great pleasure as well 
as a pardonable pride in offering the fol- 
lowing wonderful collection of this most 
valuable and showy family of late flow- 
ering, hardy plants. They grow freely in 
almost any soil and climate, giving a 
wealth of bloom from August to late 
November. 
novae-angliae section—The varieties in this 
section have large flowers which are pro- 
duced in terminal clusters on branching 
4 to 6 ft. stems. 
Barrs Pink—Large open semi-double flow- 
ers of rose pink, with showy gold and 
bronze central disc. 4 ft. 35¢ each.

Aster yet introduced, being proclaimed 
as the only real pink Aster grewn and 
exhibited at the Waltham Field Station, 
Mass. State College. 3 to 4 ft. 50c each. 
Mrs. F. W. Raynor—The nearest approach 
to red in this section. Best described as 
intense violet-purple. 4% ft. 40c each. 
Mrs. F. W. Fitzpatrick—The large flowers 
are borne in broad panicles and are of a 
deep blue-violet, with golden stamens. 
It is one of the latest of this type to 
bloom and a strong robust grower, en- 
tirely resistant to mildew and other 
diseases. 6 ft. 40c¢ each. 
Mrs. Frances Childers—Probably best de- 
scribed as a carmine rose in color. Very 
distinct and good grower. 5 ft. 35c each. 
of rosy-red, darker than Barrs Pink, and 
lighter than Red Cloud. A nice contrast 
when planted with Harringtons Pink and 
Mt. Rainier. 6 ft. 75c each. 
Mount Rainier— One of the outstanding 
Asters at the various trial gardens and 
fall flower shows in the east, receiving 
an Award of Merit. Large flowers of 
pure white, narrow petals, with a yellow 
eye. Easily the best of its color in this 
section. 50c each. 
Red Cloud—A new introduction, being of- 
fered for the first time. A clearer pink 
than Barrs Pink, being much deeper and 
hardly fades at all. 50c each. 
Ryecroft Pink—Bright rose pink flowers 
on 5 ft. stems. 35c each. 
Ryecroft Purple—Large rich purple flow- 
ers on 5 to 6 ft. stems, 35c each. 
Survivor — Color similar to Harringtons 
Pink, but starting to bloom about two 
weeks later, and extending the season 
several weeks. 4 to 5 ft. 50c each. 
novi-belgi section — The following varieties 
represent the best of this important sec- 
tion. With a few exceptions all being 
very large flowered and produced on 
long branching sprays in great profusion. 
All make fine cut flowers, working in 
nicely with Heleniums, Artemisias, Ane- 
mone japonica and the hardy Mums.

closest to red in Michaelmas Daisies. The 
brilliant crimson red flowers are pro- 
duced freely on 3 ft. stems; from Sept. 
to Nov. 35c each. 
Blue Gown—New importation from Europe, 
with large flowers of charming shade of 
blue, on 4 ft. stems. 50c each. 
Blue Plume—Semi-double flowers of true 
deep blue, one of the latest introductions 
and should be in every collection. 3 ft. 
50c each. 
Burbanks Charming—The plants are com- 
pletely covered with feathery sprays of 
delicate rosy white. About 5 feet high 
with graceful, disease resistant foliage.

Chas. Wilson—A bright red which in our 
opinion is the best of its color to date. 
Sept. to frost. 3 to 4 ft. high. 35c each.

flowers with golden yellow disc. 25c 
each.
