See Stokesia. STOKE: A (Jonathan Stokes, M.D., 1755-1831, Eng- lish botar'-st). Gompdsitm. Stokes' Aster is one of the rarest, choicest and most distinct of American hardy perennial herbs. It is a blue-tid. plant about a foot high which at first glance has points in common with China asters, centaureas and chicory. The heads are 3 or 4 in. across in cultivation. The marginal row of flowers is composed of about 15 ray-like corollas, which have a very short tube at the base and are much broadened at the apex and cut into 5 long, narrow strips. Stokes' Aster is hardy as far north as Rochester, N. Y., and Boston, Mass. Probably many persons have been deterred from trying it because it is native only to South Carolina and Georgia, and because it is con- Bidered a greenhouse subject in some standard works on gardening. The fact that it is found wild in wet pine barrens is also deceptive, for the roots, as Woolson and Keller testify, will decay if water stands on the soil in Winter. Moreover, the plant has been praised by Meehan for its drought-resisting qualities. Stokes' Aster should be planted in a well-drained, sandy loam, not in cold and heavy clay. It blooms from August until hard frost. According to Chapman, the heads of wild specimens are only an inch across, but the size of heads in cultivated plants is stated by many horti- cultural experts to be 3-4 in. across. J. B. Keller writes that Stokes' Aster is frequently used for cut-flowers. In the wild the heads are
