In this new variety, which was grown at our Locust Farm Nursery the past season and which was easily the most brilliant bit of color among the acres of flowers grown there, we have what is undoubtedly the earliest, freest and most continuous bloomer of all and, what is still more important, the most uniform in habit of growth; the bushy plants do not grow over 15 inches high with the spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers thrown well above the plant, making a total height of about 2 feet, and in the lines, several hundred feet in length, there was not a variation cf an inch in the height of any plant, the im- portance of this uniformity will be appreciated by those who use Scarlet Sage for beds or borders. 25 cts. per pkt; 5 pkts., $ NEW COLORS OF STOKESIA. (Cornflower Asters.) 4060 The blue Stokesia Cyanea, although a native of the United States, was practically unknown as a garden plant until the year 1903, when we illus- trated it in colors on the cover of our Garden Book; and, as a result of our efforts, it is now one of the popular hardy perennials. Some years later, a white-flowered variety was discovered, and now we are able to offer a mixture containing a number of rose shades, white and various shades of blue and purple as well. These should prove highly interesting, and we look forward to the time when this plant will be found in all gardens in a great variety of colors. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.
