ANTHEMIS (Hardy Marguerite) 
tMoonlight—A fine compact and upright growing variety obtaining a 
height of 2 feet, and literally covered throughout the Summer months 
with quantities of pale lemon yellow Daisy-like flowers about 22 
inches in diameter. Excellent for cutting as well as a fine showy 
variety for the hardy border. 
AQUILEGIA (Columbine) 
These native flowers of North America are wonderfully useful as cut 
flowers. Will grow in any location, but give best results in well 
drained and sunny position. May and June. 
tBlue Hybrids—An assortment of different shades of blue. 
tMrs. Scott Elliott’s Hybrids—Assorted shades of long spurred varie- 
ties. 
t Yellow—A very fine clear shade of yellow. 
tSnow White—A pure white. 
+Waller Franklin Hybrids—The most brilliant color combinations 
that it is possible to find in long spurred Aquilegia. 
ARABIS (Rockcress) 
*Florepleno—Lovely double pure white blooms. When grown in mass 
it resembles a solid bed of Lily-of-the-Valley if one views it from a 
short distance. Flowers in early Spring. Height, 12 inches. 
ARMERIA (Thrift) 
t*Glory of Holland—A new improved form of Armeria. Clear, deep 
pink flowers about the size of a silver dollar are borne on straight, 
tall stems 24 inches high in large profusion throughout the Summer 
months. An excellent cut flower. 
ARTEMISIA (Southernwood) 
tlactiflora—One of the most useful tall plants we have blooming in 
August and September. Grows about 4 feet high and makes a splen- 
did foliage background for Phlox and Summer lilies. The milk white 
bloom is borne on graceful sprays, producing a lacy effect. 
tSilver King—A very useful plant, growing about 3 feet high and 
blooming in early Summer. Producing beautiful sprays of mistlike 
flowers with silvery gray foliage adding an effect of lightness among 
the dark green foliage of the other Perennials in bloom at that time. 
HARDY ASTERS (Michaelmas Daisy) 
These lovely Fall flowering subjects, which are natives of North 
America and absolutely hardy in any section of the country, deserve 
much more extensive cultivation. The following varieties are well 
worthy of a place in every garden, since they are so distinct in type 
and novel in colors. The size of the flowers may be very greatly 
increased if the clumps are divided each Spring, and each plant 
grown to a single stem. The central growing tip should be pinched 
out to induce branching. This makes a sturdy plant that requires very 
little support and controls the height. 
tBeechwood Challenger—Absolutely a true red Aster, very fine 
sturdy grower, attaining a height of about 4 feet. The red color 
shows up in delightful contrast with the bright yellow center. Fine 
bushy upright grower. Absolutely disease resistant. 
tBritish Queen—Soft lavender blue, semi-double, unusually large, 
open flowers with pale yellow center. A vigorous growing, well 
branched plant that comes into bloom early September. Height, 
about 4 feet. Excellent for cutting and decorative work. 
tHarrington’s Pink—Clear shining pink in color, making a magnificent 
foil for the many handsome blue and white varieties already in cul- 
tivation. Large flowers of bright dainty pink, attaining a height 3-4 
Klee 
tMount Everest—A wonderful white Aster. It forms very tall, well 
shaped, pointed pyramids with an abundance of lateral growths 
which flower right down to the ground. The flowers are large and 
dead white with a very small eye. Healthy foliage, 3-4 feet. 
tPeace—A soft rosy mauve in color, attaining a height of 3 to 4 feet. 
One of the novi belgii types. 
tProsperity—large, deep rosy pink flowers, a decided improvement 
on any other pink variety to date; flowers very early in September; 
attains a height of from 3% to 4 feet. 
tPlenty—Very large soft blue flowers as large as the single annual 
Aster Chinensis. Attains a height of from 3% to 4 feet. 
tStar of Wartburg—A giant form with large individual flowers on 
fine strong, erect stems a foot high. Blooms very early and makes a 
fine display with its dark Lilac-blue flowers with orange center. 3 feet.

Anthemis Moonlight 
tSurvivor (Patented/—Superior to Harrington's Pink because it flowers 
later in the season and extends the flowering season for Asters by 
two weeks. The flowers are larger and of the same bright rose pink 
color but the plants are more open in their habit of growth. 
Height, 3% to 4 feet. 
tThe Cardinal—A large-flowered cardinal-red Aster. Clear and 
bright, it is an accent of great interest and another of the new very 
popular fall plants. Blooms are 1 to 1% inches in diameter. It is 
very spectacular in the fall border and a worthwhile addition for 
lengthening the autumn blooming season. 36 inches high. September- 
October. 
tVioletta—The best blue Aster in a collection of 425 varieties. Flowers 
from the ground up, unlike other types of Hardy Asters, and is a 
rich violet blue in color. A splendid cut flower as well as a beautiful 
subject for mass effect. Height, 3 feet. Flowering in September and 
October. 
t*Wonder of Staefa—Exceptionally large flowers, almost 2'/ inches 
across, of a soft wisteria-violet shade, with large yellow centers. 
This Aster has a longer blooming period than any other variety, 
flowering from late August to frost. The habit of growth is open and 
branched, so that the individual flowers are displayed to their fullest 
beauty. We consider it, both for cutting and table decorations, the 
finest Aster introduced. 2-3 feet. 
tYunnanensis—Napsbury—The improved Star of Wartburg with 
wider petals and smaller foliage than the original. Fragrant; flowers 
can be used for home decoration. 
DWARF HYBRID BORDER ASTERS 
These Asters make magnificent border subjects and are splendidly 
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 en-
