THE GENUINE CREGO ASTER 



DIRECT FROM THE ORIGINATOR 



With its enormous blossoms, long stems and vigorous, healthy plants, this Aster is becoming more valuable to the 

 florist from year to year, and its remarkable success is due to the fact that it has had the benefit of twelve years of the 

 most rigid and painstaking selection, every effort having been directed toward developing its commercial qualities— 

 toward making it a money-maker for every florist who handles it. Growing no other seed of any kind. I am able to give 

 this the closest possible attention. 



One of the largest growers at Irondequoit, the great aster center of New York state, says: "Our best Crego blooms 

 usually sell at about $1.00 per dozen, retail, about twice as much as can be got here for any other variety." (See 'Asters 

 at Ironiequoit" in Florists' Review, April 26. 1912.) Both wholesale and retail, when properly handled, the Crego Aster 

 has always maintained its position at the top of the market. 



BUY YOUR SEED DIRECT FROM THE ORIGINATOR. 



This Aster has proved itself to be exactly whatevery florist needs; an aster which finds instant favor with his customers, for which they 

 are willing to pay the highest price, and which gives him the highest return for his time and labor. It costs the grower no more to produce 

 flowers of that gr*de th%a to grow tho common run of asters which sell for but little more than eaouch to pay express charges. 



If you are interested in getting the highest possible returns from your aster crop next summer, I shall be pleased to hear from you at 

 an early date. 



I am offering the Crego Aster in four colors: white.'shell pink, rose pink and violet, all fully up to Crego grade, with immense fluffy 

 blooms 4 to 6 inches in diameter and of splendid color. ^ 



NOTE THE' PRICES:— ^•ounc* SOe; Hi-ounc* 91.00; ounc* $2.00. Send cash with your order.
