DWARF HYBRID BORDER ASTERS 
These Asters make magnificent border subjects and are splend‘dly 
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 ac- 
count of their magnificent colors and free flowering habit. Also they 
are in flower at a time when flowers in the rock garden are scarce. 
*Nancy—Of dwarf bushy habit and very free-flowering, the plants 
being covered with pale flesh-pink flowers toward the end of Sep- 
tember and early October. 9 inches. 
*Niobe—Brilliant white flowers growing in a perfect ball about 9 
inches high. Flowering in September and October. 
*Victor—The dwarfest of all and very pretty. The flowers are of good 
size and of a beautiful clear pale lavender-blue; a charming rock- 
plant, flowering mid-September. 6 inches. 
ASTILBE—See Spiraeas 
BAPTISIA (False-Indigo ) 
tAustralis—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 and not at all particular as to 
soil requirements. 
BOLTONIA (False-camomile ) 
tAsteroides—Flower heads pure white; flowering at the same time as 
the popular Michaelmas Daisies. 5 to 6 feet. 
jLatisquaama—Beautiful pink flowers. Same type as above. 5 feet. 
BEGONIA 
jEvansiana—A perfectly hardy Begonia which will live outdoors dur- 
ing 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 summer bloom in shady 
locations. Height about 2 to 2 feet. 
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 themselves beautifully. 
BUDDLEIA (Butterfly Bush) 
t“Charming”—Vigorous and very free flowering, producing a profu- 
sion of large lavender pink trusses continuously throughout the 
Summer. A striking ornament for the garden, also extremely valu- 
able as a late Summer cut-flower. Small young plants set out in 
the Spring quickly grow to a height of 4 to 6 feet and of about 
the same diameter. Few other plants have attracted as much attention 
and favorable comment when shown for the first time. We suggest 
the pinching off in July of the first flower spikes showing, to aid the 
development of side shoots, which will bring better flowers later in 
the season. Price: 50c per plant, $5.00 per dozen. 
t+Dubonnet—Color is an exact counterpart of the popular French 
Wine Dubonnet, a shade which has recently been popularized in 
dress fabrics. In sunshine and under the lamp it glows almost a 
true red. The firm cylindrical spikes are snugly set with individual 
flowers of good size that do not sunburn. The plant is of robust 
erect growth with strong stems; the leaves are large and of firm 
leathery texture. A good late Summer cut-flower harmonizing well 
with other outdoor blooms. Price: 50c per plant, $5.00 per 
dozen. 
+Fascinating—A beautiful new Buddleia bearing immense blooms of 
soft Cattleya pink or orchid. This handsome strong growing shrub 
flowers profusely throughout the summer and autumn, and its huge 
round trusses of flowers, 12 to 18 inches long, make it a conspicu- 
ous subject. The more the flowers are cut the more new ones appear. 
Like other Buddleias this new variety attracts a great many butter- 
flies, adding to its charm in the garden. Price: 75c each, $7.50 
per dozen. 
{Flaming Violet (Patent No. 519)—The finest and most brilliant of 
all Buddleias. Immense spikes of flaming Violet or imperial purple, 
intensely brilliant and sparkling with a fiery glow rarely seen in 
flowers. Flower trusses are unusually large, measuring 12 to 15 
inches long. Individual flowers are spaced closely and open practi- 
cally all at the same time. They last a long time in bloom on the 
shrub as well as when cut and placed in water. The plant is vig- 
orous, strong, and upright in growth. Flowers throughout the 
summer and autumn. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 
+Orchid Beauty—A splendid new variety of soft cattleya-lilac with a 
brilliant orange eye. Somewhat similar in color to the well-known 
variety “Fortune” but differing from it by having long, taper‘ng 
spikes, similar in form and size to the popular “Charming.” A real 
addition to the Buddleia list. Price: 75c each, $7.50 per dozen. 
t+Royal Red—The result of eight years of extensive breeding work. As 
a Hardy plant for cut flower purposes in the summer it is un- 
surpassed for beauty and usefulness. It can be grown as an orna- 
mental lawn shrub and from early July to late frost this plant will 
produce an abundance of rich red panicles attracting instant atten- 
tion. Grows about six feet high with deep leathery green foliage. 
All plants we offer will flower the first season. Price: 75c each, 
$7.50 per dozen.
