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, 6-9 inches. 
ARMERIA (Thrift) 
+*Glory of Holland—A new improved form of Armeria. Clear, 
deep pink flowers about the size of a silver dollar are borne

Summer months. An excellent cut flower. 12-15 inches. Early

ARTEMISIA (Southernwood)

ing in August and September. Grows about 4 feet high and 
makes a splendid foliage background for Phlox and Summer 
lilies. The milk white bloom is borne on graceful sprays. 
+Silver 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 green foliage of other Perennials. 
HARDY ASTERS (Michaelmas Daisy) 
hese 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 fol- 
lowing 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. 
+Beechwood Challenger—A bsolutely a true red Aster, very fine 
sturdy grower, attaining a height of about 2 feet. The red 
color shows up in delightful contrast with the bright yellow 
center. Fine bushy upright grower. Absolutely disease re- 
sistant. September-October. 
Blandin White—Pure clear white, many flowers. Larger flower 
with wide petals. Height, 2-3 feet. 
+British Queen—Soft lavender blue, semi-double, unusually 
large, open flowers with pale yellow center. A vigorous grow- 
ing, well branched plant that comes into bloom early Sep- 
tember. Height, about 4 feet. Excellent for cutting. 
Aster—Star of Wartburg
