SUCCESS REWARDED BY SUCCESS -THE UNPRECEDENTED 



sale of High Class Aster seed more fully demonstrates the fact that cut flower growers of the better 

 classes, as well as the retail florists from all parts of the » nited States and Canada, also Europe, are 

 open to conviction that thetrade demands a higher and better grade and qual'ty of Asters than has 

 heretofore been produced, consequently our Improved chr\santhemum type of Aster I ady Roosevelt 

 seed is in wonderful demund, and not only the seed, but also the cut flower product from this un^ur- 

 passed improved variety of Aster as same are being contracted for already for next September d - 

 livery by re i ail florists from several large cities of various parts of the United States, viz: ^ew York, 

 Pitt-burg New « ritans, Denver, &c., at $1 Go per dozen, net As we are able to produce this 

 superior Aster Lady Woosevelt by our <ipeclal improved Scientific Intense Culture flethods with 

 bloom stems 36 in. or more in length enables us to ship the cut flower product to any city in the United States 

 east of Ue^iver without deterioration, as with the large, long, stiff wir> stems they absorb a large 

 quantity of water before shipping, which preserves them in transit, and also two or three weeks after 

 their arrival at their destination. 



/V\ fl l*Vt* loll ^ as it may seem, we are expecting this season to improve upon our last reasons 

 I \<xv vtli/uo accomplishments by grouine our Aster plants 6 feet ta 1, wherein last sesson they 

 were only 4J4 and 5 feet in height, thereby producing bloom stems 36 to 48 inches in length with flowers 4'/^ 

 to 5J4 inches in diameter, thus enabling us to realize net $4 OnO or more, from the one'4 acre that we 

 intend to grow for the cut flower trade. These will be marketed in at least •» and pussible 60 different 

 cities in the United Stales, from Bo ton. '^ass.. to Denver Inclusive. This is our proposed plan for 

 creating a demand and sale for our unparelled Chrysanthemum type of A.*ter, ady Roosevelt for 

 those who may in the near future become producers of this special Aster from the seed they are now purchas- 

 ing from us FOR stdl further desired Infurma Ion send for our Illustrated folder — which also contains 

 other very Interesting Information relative to other special crops we a e engaged in the culture of.
