Hardy Perennial Asters 
New and Brilliantly Colored 
These grand new varieties were introduced for 
the first time last year. Their new colors, large 
size and great profusion of bloom make them out- 
standing for late fall flowers. They are extremely 
hardy and of easiest culture. Prices: Unless 
otherwise noted, Each ‘5c; 3 for $2.10; Doz. $7.50. 
ALASKA — Pure marble-white without any tint- 
ing; unquestionably the finest, purest white aster 
offered. Flowers are big; 2% inches across and 
give a ray-like effect with double layer of flower 
petals. Makes a fine upright plant about 24 or 
30 inches tall, quite rounded but completely cov- 
ered with flowers when in bloom. 
ALCIDA—Brilliant, non-fading, clear and spark- 
ling. Color is a glowing garnet-purple. The flowers 
completely cover a tightly growing plant which 
makes a mound about 20 to 24 inches high. It 
surely puts life into a faded summer border and 
makes a fine, strong contrast with other hardy 
aster varieties. 
AQUILLA — This plant is almost cone-shaped 
broad and upright. Grows 24 to 30 inches high. 
This cone of green becomes a magnificent mass 
of lightest pale blue in autumn. The flowers are 
about 2% inches across, semi-double; completely 
hiding the foliage. A lovely delicate and clear 
effect in the autumn garden. 
EDWINA — Immense flowers in shapely pyra- 
midal clusters of light violet-blue. A color which 
sparkles in the sunlight and lights up the garden 
in autumn as few flowers do. Plants grow about 
2 to 3 feet high with rigid stems and are profuse 
bloomers. 
ERMA — The semi-double flowers are a beauti- 
ful light shade of orchid purple. Flowers are about 
1% to 2 inches in diameter, clear and brightly 
colored. The plant grows about 15 to 18 inches 
high, is rigidly upright and rounded. The flowers 
occur in tight clusters in a most profuse manner. 
A shapely plant of great beauty. 
PALOMA — Here we have unquestionably the 
truest in deep blue, The flower spikes are pyra- 
midal in form and about 24 to 30 inches in height 
profusely covered with blooms. Makes a beautiful 
show when planted with white variety Alaska.

proved Violetta. Flower clusters are free and 
upright. Deep campanula-violet would describe 
its color best. Grows about 30 to 36 inches tall.

SELMA — The mound-like plants which are 
about 15 to 18 inches tall become invisible under 
a sumptuous display of bloom. No foliage remains 
visible at that time. The color is soft, clear, spark- 
ling rosy lilac. The flowers are about 2% inches 
across. 
YOLANDA — The finest and truest pink in 
Asters. The flowers are semi-double, 2 inches or 
more across and grow upright on spikes instead 
of in flat clusters, Spikes are from 24 to 30 inches 
rea ta and heavily covered with blooms. Finest 
pink. 
WINSTON CHURCHILL —A very free flowering 
variety, producing rich ruby-crimson flowers. This 
English variety is the reddest of all hardy asters.

mired in this country by those who saw it for the 
first time last year, Each $1.00; 3 for $2.55; 
doz. $7.00. Postpaid.
