Aster, Hercules (Rosy Lilac>. (Novelty. '10). This grand 



>^-^-^^— — — — — ^— — ^— ^— novelty is the first break 

 from the Grand White Hercules Aster which we introduced some 

 years ago. The color is a splendid delicate rosy lilac. The 

 plants are compact and semi-dwarf, not exceeding 15 to 20 inches in 

 height. In addition to the enormous flower of the main stem, this 

 Aster produces five to six long-petaled lateral flowers, measuring 5*a 

 to 0^ inches across, of the most perfect form. The Hercules 

 Aster is one of the grandest varieties of the Giant Hohenzollern type 

 ever introduced, and we are sure that this variety will find favor 

 with all lovers of good Asters. Trade pkt., 25 cts.. 5 for $1. 



Hercules. Of imposing aspect, the plants throw up a very 

 ^^^^— — strong stem, 15 to 20 inches high, which begins to 

 branch about 4 inches from the ground. Flowers are borne on 

 remarkably strong stalks, are all the purest white, of the genuine 

 Hohenzollern form, with very long petals, and attain the enormous 

 diameter of 6, or, with good culture, as much as 7 inches. Trade 

 pkt. 35 cts.. 3 for $1.

 Fine for cutting. 



Trade Pkt 

 Wliite $0.35 



The color is hard to de- 

 scribe, but we think 

 rosy carmine about right. As a cut-flower variety this Aster catches 

 the eye every time. Trade pkt. 25 cts., ^4 oz. 75 cts., ^«oz.$1.25, oz.$2. 



Aster, Improved Early Branching Semple. (Novelty, 



■ = — '09.) HA. 



A seedling from that grand old variety Scrapie's Pink, which on 

 account of its earliness will certainly become equally and we predict 

 more popular than its parent. The color is of the same shade of 

 bright pink and the habit of the plant and form of flowers are iden- 

 tical, being of the same strong robust growth and branching habit. 

 Its greatest value is in its earliness, blooming as it does ten days 

 earlier than Scrapie's Pink. Trade pkt. 25 cts.. H oz. 75 cts., H oz. 

 $1.25, oz. $2. 



Aster, Early Wonder. White. (Novelty. 08.) H. A. 

 ^^^^^^^^—^^—^— This is the earliest Aster in cultiva- 

 tion, blooraing several days before Queen of the market, with pure 

 white flowers double the size : nice shape and stands well. It is after 

 the style of the Giant Comet, and is destined to become the leading 

 early variety, and will prove a great acquisition to growers requir- 

 ing large, early blooms. Trade pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1, ^ oz. 40
