STOKESIA laevis. Stokes Aster. 
Merits much more attention than it has 
received in past years, for the large

maximum of color in your garden and

cutting. Sun. 1%-2 ft. ‘ 
STRAWBERRY. Ornamental (Fra- 
garia chiloensis). This handsome glossy 
green cover is being used quite exten- 
sively because of its hardiness and

rapidly and thoroughly and requires lit- 
tle attention except watering and weed- 
ing while young. In spring it is almost 
hidden by countless thousands of small 
single snowy white flowers. Mow once 
yearly, about the middle of March. At 
this time give a light application of 
general purpose commercial fertilizer. 
From October until March we can sup- 
ply well rooted divisions bare root (Fig-

per hundred; $40.00 per thousand. Flats
