FALL BLOOMING ASTERS 
ADORABLE— 
Best true pink hardy aster. Habit and 
growth are similar to Harrington Pink but 
color is slightly deeper salmon pink. 45e. 
MOUNT EVEREST—- 
The finest and best white aster. It forms 
very tall, well-shaped pointed pyramids 
with an abundance of lateral growths, 
which flower right down to the ground. 
Makes wonderful bouquets as cut flowers.

BLUE GEM— 
Large, lovely flowers of blue with a yel- 
low center, best blue in cultivation. Septem- 
ber until frost. 3 to 4 feet. 45e. 
BEECHWOOD CHALLENGER— 
This variety is in our opinion the closest 
to red we have been able to come so far 
in Hardy Asters. It is free-flowering, of 
medium height, and brilliant crimson-red 
color. Planted together with Mount Everest 
the contrast is striking. 4c.

summer.

BRISTOL FAIRY— 
A double Baby Breath of great vigor, 
producing large panicles of flowers and 
blooming more or less continuously all 
summer, if first blooms are cut. 75ce. 
ROSY VEIL— 
A new dwarf pink double-flowering Gyp- 
sophila. Established plants reach a height

They start blooming 2 weeks earlier than 
the tall double Gypsophila and continue 
later in the season. Fit perfectly in the 
garden and are fine for cutting. 75c.
