ASTERS 



New Giant Non-Lateral 



New Introductions of 

 Exceptional Merit. 



Several years ago an Amer- 

 ican Specialist in Aster cul- 

 ture undertook a certain 

 series of crosses to obtain a 

 tall growing Non-Lateral 

 strain of Asters, and this sea- 

 son we are offering for your 

 consideration the perfected 

 results of his work. By 

 crossing the tall growing 

 non-lateral American Beauty 

 with some of the finer types 

 of the Crego class, an Aster 

 with the type of Crego and 

 Peony flowers and with a 

 non-lateral branching stem 

 w-as secured. These Asters 

 attain a height of some three 

 feet and the long stems are 

 surmounted by flowers of 

 ultra-refined Crego and Peony 

 Flowered types. The size 

 of the flowers is phenom- 

 enal. The fact that these 

 Asters are without laterals 

 causes an unbroken sap flow 

 from the base to the one 

 flower at the terminal, thereby 

 accounting for their immense 

 size. The flowers can be cut 

 with individual stems ranging 



from eighteen inches to two feet in length. The blossoms of the Crego Type are laige, fluffy, and not unlike the 

 general make-up of a refined type of Japanese Chrysanthemum. 



CREGO TYPE 



Peach Blossom Pink. A superb Aster with blossoms 

 of the most ultra-refined Crego type, the petals being 

 beautifully twisted and interlaced, borne singly on rigid, 

 upright stems. The plants attain a height of two and a 

 half to three feet. I'niike the ordinary Crego Asters, 

 this variety throws few or no laterals. Blossoms ot 

 enormous size. Splendid for cutting purposes. 



Dark Rose. A tail growing variety, in color a deeii 

 rich rose. I'lowers of enormous size, wavy in outline. 

 An ideal Aster regarded from any point of view. 



Light Blue. An exact rei)lica of Peach Blossom as re- 

 gards form, size and character of growth, with ;in ex- 

 quisite tone of color. 



Purple.

PEONY-FLOWERED TYPE 



Peach Blossom Pink. This new Aster differs from 

 the Crego type in the fact that the petals instead of 

 being curled and wavy-like are regular in their outline, 

 more or less after the style of a gigantic flower of the 

 old \'ictoria class. 



Light Blue. .\n exceptionally good "Cm I'lower Blue."

 Trade pkt., $1.00; per Va, oz., $2.50.
