of September.

growths, which flower right down to the ground. The flowers are large 
and dead white with a very small eye. Healthy foliage. 3 to 4 feet.

Violetta Each 65c, Three $1.75, Doz. $5.50 
The loveliest, deepest and richest blue Michaelmas Daisy. It grows 
into a rounded bush about 2 feet high and about as wide. During 
September it is completely covered with semi-double flowers from 
the top of the plant to the base, not a leaf is visible. It simply 
turns into a perfect mound of a glittering, deep, violet-blue. This is 
t’’ for every garden, big or small. Its medium height, neat 
habit of growth and extreme floriferousness place it in a class all 
by itself. Fits small places in small gardens very nicely.

Aster Novi-Belgi, Amethyst 
NOVAE-ANGLIAE SECTION 
These are the very hardy and permanent fall Asters. Excellent for back- 
ground planting in flower borders. They do not spread unreasonably. 
The stems are stiff, bearing their handsome flowers in terminal clusters. 
Allow only 3 or 4 stems to develop on 1 plant. By so doing you will 
have more and better flowers. Height of plants can be regulated by 
“pinching” the terminal growth about 6 inches in July. 
Dr. Eckener Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
Bright salmon-tinted crimson flowers with yellow disc cover plant in 
early autumn. It blooms freely and does fine in wet ground. Very showy 
in the hardy border. 
Harrington’s Pink Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
The first truly pink Aster! Its blooms match exactly the deep rose-pink 
of Ridgway’s color chart. A perfectly lovely plant in the autumn gar- 
den where it grows to 4 feet or more with bold heads of blooms creating 
a striking picture. It is excellent for cutting. 
Mt. Rainier Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
Pure white flowers with yellow discs. A most satisfactory variety for 
“separating’’ the other colors. It is an excellent plant to help create 
fine fall effects. 
Shakespeare Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
A very fine Novae-Angliae Aster imported from England. The flowers 
are bright pink and have a fine bronze-tinted center, free flowering and 
permanent. Makes a fine show in the border.

HARDY ASTER, “SURVIVOR” (Novae-Angliae) 
(Plant Patent No. 584) Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
This beautiful pink hardy fall-blooming Aster received the Award of 
Merit at the ‘‘Harvest Show” of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 
in 1940. 
We quote in part from a letter to Massachusetts Nurseryman by the 
Agricultural Experiment Station at Waltham, Massachusetts: 
“Among the four hundred varieties of Asters in the testing gardens of 
the Waltham Field Station, the outstanding variety this year was Curtis 
Pink (now named Survivor because of its fine lasting qualities.) This 
Aster was sent to the Station by an amateur who declared it superior 
to the popular Harrington’s Pink. Unquestionably this Novae-Angliae 
proves to be a worthy rival of the older sort, and because of its un- 
usually late flowering period will at least supplement it, if not replace 
it entirely. ; : 
"Those who have enjoyed Harrington’s Pink Aster since it became 
available will appreciate Survivor in that it extends the season two 
weeks longer, with larger flowers of the same bright rose-pink color on 
plants of a more open habit.”
