ASTERS (Concluded) 
+Harrington’s Pink—Clear shining pink in color, making a 
magnificent foil for the many handsome blue and white va- 
rieties already in cultivation. Large flowers of bright dainty 
pink, attaining a height 3-4 feet. 
Jane McMullen—An outstanding novelty in a beautiful shade 
of soft pink. The individual flowers are the largest we have 
seen in some little time, in fact larger in size than a Silver 
Dollar. Will grow to approximately 3 feet in height. Price: 
75c each, $7.50 per dozen. 
+Mount 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. 
+Peace—A soft rosy mauve in color, attaining a height of 3 to 4 
feet. One of the novi belgii types. Early September-late Oc- 
tober. 
Plenty—Very large soft blue flowers as large as the single 
annual Aster Chinensis. Attains a height of from 3% to 4 
feet. Early September-October. 
Star 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. 242 feet. Summer and early Fall flowering. 
+Survivor—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, 31% to 4 feet. 
+The 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. 3 feet. September-October. 
The Sexton—An excellent large single Aster of a very rich 
blue. Should be a popular novelty because of its color. A 
very fine border plant which grows to a height of approxi- 
mately 4 feet. Price: 75c each, $7.50 per dozen. 
+Violetta—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. 
*Wonder of Staefa—Exceptionally large flowers, almost 212 
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 intro- 
duced. 214-3 feet. June 1-mid-November. 
+Yunnanensis—Napsbury—The improved Star of Wartburg 
with wider petals and smaller foliage than the original. Frag- 
rant; flowers can be used for home decoration. June. 2% feet. 
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 enthusiasts on account of their 
magnificent colors and free flowering habit. Also they are in 
flower at a time when flowers in the rock garden are scarce. 
*Lilac Time—Lovely soft lilac flowers, free flowering, of bushy 
habit. September-October. 12 inches. 
*Niobe—Brilliant white flowers growing in a perfect ball about 
6 inches high. Flowering in September and October. 
*Victor—The dwarfest of'all and very pretty. The flowers are 
of good size and a beautiful clear pale lavender-blue; a 
charming rock-plant, flowering mid-September. 6 inches.

BAPTISIA (False-Indigo) 
+Australis—Very attractive dark blue, pea shaped flowers in 
long curving racemes, somewhat similar to Lupines, but 
hardier in every way. Blooms in June and is about 2 feet 
high. Suitable for the hardy border or wild garden and not 
at all particular as to soil requirements. 
BEGONIA (Hardy) 
Evansiana—This is an ideal hardy bulb for planting in a wood- 
land or ground cover. If you have a shady place in the 
woods or under shrubs which in early Spring is gay with 
Virginia Blue Bells, Trillium, Grape Hyacinths and Blood- 
root they frequently present a sore sight in summer and fall 
when the foliage has disappeared. Begonia Evansiana can be 
planted in any of these locations where some kind of cover is 
required and I am sure you will be delighted with the re- 
sults it gives you. It grows and blooms where nothing else will 
and is excellent for naturalistic plantings. 
BOLTONIA (False-camomile) 
+Asteroides—Flower heads pure white; flowering at the same 
time as the popular Michaelmas Daisies. 5 to 6 feet. 
+Latisquama—Beautiful pink flowers. Same type as above. 5 
feet: 
BUDDLEIA (Butterfly Bush) 
(Illustrated on page 31) 
Buddleias make ideal planting where privacy is desired dur- 
ing the summer months because they are very showy in their 
flowering season which is very long and are nice tall, com- 
pact growing subjects with little, if any, disease affecting 
them. 
+Fascinating—Long, graceful, open blooms of Cattleyea-pink 
produced in quantity throughout the Summer and Fall. The 
individual flowers are about 15 inches long and this color used 
in connection with the deep purple and white varieties is out- 
standing in its value as a garden plant. Price: $1.00 each, 
$10.00 per dozen. 
+Flaming Violet (#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 practically all at the same time. The plant 
is vigorous, strong, and upright in growth. Flowers through- 
ou. the Summer and Autumn. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per 
ozen. 
+Fortune—Color, pure lilac with a brilliant orange eye in each 
tiny flower, thousands of which make up their sprays, which 
are 12 to 18 inches long. Very neat growing habits, four feet 
high, four feet across with dark leathery green foliage. A 
very showy garden plant and a very fine cut flower subject. 
Price: $1.00 each, $7.50 per dozen. 
+Peace—A pure white Buddleia and one that is as hardy as any 
of the other varieties we offer. The graceful and slightly arch- 
ing flowers are well formed, full and 12 to 16 inches long, pro- 
duced in abundance throughout Summer and Autumn until 
stopped by frost. The plants are rugged and grow about 6 feet 
tall, have fine foliage, grow rapidly and require no more care 
than any other kind. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 
+Purple Prince—The immense broad spikes which resemble 
Lilacs are a rich, iridescent imperial purple which sparkles in 
sunlight. A brilliant golden-orange eye in each tiny flower 
gives added charm and interest to this outstanding variety. 
The shape and size of the flower spikes of the new Buddleia 
“Purple Prince” are unusual and put this variety in a class by 
itself. The base of the flower spike is at least twice as wide as 
that of other varieties giving a very massive effect. These big 
flowers are produced in unlimited quantities throughout the 
Summer and Autumn on handsome, rugged but not too tall 
plants. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 
+White Profusion (#786)—A Summer flowering shrub never 
attaining a height of over three feet, and about the same in 
diameter. It forms a green mound studded with quantities of 
short stemmed flowering spikes of pure white. Begins to 
flower early August and continues to do so until October. 
ris Bee into the Se en Border or in front of taller 
shrubs providing a spot of cool color in the garden. Price: 
$1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. ick A:
