ASTER—Continued 
Gold Flake—Pretty, deep golden-yellow flowers on 212 to 3 
foot stems from late Summer to mid-Fall. The stems are 
heavily set with narrow, dark green leaves, contrasting 
well with the flowers. An unusual and easy variety for ordi- 
nary loam and sun. 50c and 75c. 
grandiflorus (formerly mesa grande speciosus) —An uncom- 
mon and showy species which blooms in late Fall after 
other Asters have gone. Rather narrow foliage on rigid, 
branched stems which support large, glowing violet flow- 
ers 2 inches across. 31/2 ft. Full sun. 60c and 85c. 
Michaelmas Daisy 
novae-angliae—Well-known, hardy, late-blooming plants for 
the border. They stage a good show every year without 
coddling. The terminal clusters of large, colorful flowers 
are borne on stiff, 4 to 6 foot stems. Plant in any reason- 
ably good soil in the sun. The varieties below have been 
carefully selected to give you a wide range of colors. Winter 
and Spring delivery only. 
Harringtons Pink—This is by far the best Aster of its type. 
The light, rose-pink flowers in bold masses on the sturdy 
plants are striking and irresistible. 5 ft. Each 75c, three 
_ $2.00, six $3.75; large size, each $1.00. 
‘Aount 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. By far the best white variety. 
Sitt. COG and S5c. 
Mrs. Frances Childers—The brightest color in this group, an 
intense carmine cerise. Early. 4Y2 ft. 50c and 75c. 
Mrs. F. W. Fitzpatrick—The large flowers are borne in broad 
panicles and are a deep blue violet with golden stamens. 
It is one of the latest of this type to bloom and a robust 
grower, entirely resistant to mildew and other diseases. 
6 ft. 60c and 85c. 
ASTILBE—Spirea 
ASTILBE—In our opinion one of the finest groups of perennials 
fur the shaded garden. They are easy to grow and long- 
lived; both the cut foliage and plumy flowers are unusually 
aecorative and combine well with other shade-loving plants. 
Astilbes thrive in a deep, rich, moist soil and are often 
used in massed waterside plantings. Peat moss, leafmold, 
and/or well-rotted manure incorporated in the soil will 
produce the best plants. 
Dwarf Kinds—Especially useful in rock gardens or edgings 
in the shade. The attractive flowers are produced from 
early to mid-Summer but even without flowers the foliage 
alone would make these outstanding ornamental plants. 
Plant 6 to 8 inches apart. 

AUBRIETA 
*chinensis pumila—A dwarf variety with dense spikes of rosy- 
B> mauve blooms. 12 in. 50c and 75c. 
*erispa—Delightful, crinkled and cut foliage of richest dark 
green not over six inches high and tight spikes of flowers 
in shades of pink to 1 foot. This is one of our favorites. 
75c and $1.00. 
Tall Kinds—tThe soft, graceful blooms range from white to 
red and are carried on strong stems 2 to 2! feet high. The 
handsome, divided foliage adds interest to any planting 
during all of the gardening season. Set plants 12 to 15 
inches apart. 
Arendsii Fanal—A new, European variety of superior qual- 
ity. The lovely, compound foliage is dark reddish-green 
when it first appears and passes to a luxuriant, deep green 
with age. The feathery, artistic blooms are a glowing, ir- 
resistible red! A wonderful plant for the lightly shaded 
border with moist, rich soil and for cutting. We cannot say 
too much for this new Astilbe. Each $1.00, three $2.75, 
six $5.00; large size, each $1.25. 
Deutschland—The best, pure white Astilbe and essential to 
B> a well-planned shade planting. A vigorous, free-flower- 
ing variety. 75c and $1.00. 
Simplicifolia Perrys Variety—A fine new variety imported 
B> from England and not offered elsewhere. Decorative fo- 
liage and graceful, open spikes of light pink. This Astilbe 
is a clearer color and has a better habit of growth than 
many pink sorts. $1.00 and $1.25. 
simplicifolia salmonea—Another newcomer of fine quality 
B> from England. Beautiful, feathery, open plumes of pink 
over especially crisped and crinkled leaves. Outstanding 
and one of our favorites for mass effects. $1.00 and $1.25. 
AUBRIETA 
AUBRIETA—Essential plants for the rock garden or rock wall. 
At their best when placed to cover the face of a rock, or 
fall from a crevice of a rock wall. Will grow almost any- 
where and will flower throughout the Spring. Shear as soon 
as the plants have finished blooming. Sun and light soils 
are best for these matted, hairy leaved plants. Plant ap- 
proximately 8 inches apart for a very bright display. 
**Borschs Brilliant—Strong grower, with dark green foliage and 
very large flowers of brilliant crimson. 75c. 
*Dawn—We have finally propagated a sufficient quantity, 
BY we hope, of this very popular, semi-double pink from Eng- 
land. The demand has always exceeded the supply be- 
cause Dawn’s flowers are a good color and retain their 
doubleness throughout the blooming season. $1.00. 
*Dr. Mules—A splendid variety with extra large blossoms of 
glowing deep violet purple. 75c.
