The Crego Aster 



"The Best in the Market" 



After having demonstrated, by actual competition, in the open market, 

 that. it has fully earned its title as "The Best in the Market," the CEEGO 

 ASTER is again offered to the trade, with the positive assurance that it has 

 again "made good." 



A SATISFIED GROWER 



Near St. Paul^ Minn., under date of September 15th: 



"The germination of the seed purchased from you last spring was the best I 

 over saw; apparently every seed producing a plant. I gave the best possible culti- 

 vation' and saw the results about the first of September, when they commenced to 

 bloom. They were perfectly magnificent. At our annual flower .show I entered the 

 CRHGO ASTER in seven different classes, and too* first prize in every Instance. 

 My asters were in a class by themselves, and a local florist, who was one of the 

 judges, said they were the finest ho had ever seen, and he offered to buy my 

 crop at from ?5.00 to $7.00 per 100." 



This Astier has been given a fair trial in nearly every part of the United 

 States and Canada, also in Europe, and has proved itself to be exactly what 

 every 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 grade than to grow the common run of asters which sell 

 for but little more than enough to pay express charges. I am offering the 

 CREGO ASTER in four colors, viz. : shell pink, pure white, rose-pink and violet 

 blue. The latter color is offered for the first tim'e. It is fully up to Crego 

 grade, immense fluffy blossoms of splendid color. 



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. Late 

 orders will probably find the supply of seed exhausted. 



The price of CREGO ASTER seed is as follows: 14 oz., $1.00; % oz., 

 $2.00; ounce, $4.00; cash with order. Full directions for growing the largest 

 and finest Asters will be sent to each purchaser of ^ oz. or more.

There is one thing certain 

 about cold storage lily bulb& 

 and that is, that the best 

 quality is an absolute neces- 

 sity to successful results. 

 Poor bulbs may bring some 

 returns if planted when they 

 arrive from Japan, but they 

 will not stand the cold stor- 

 age strain. Now, good cold 

 storage Giganteum Lilies are 

 not only profitable, but a 

 very handy flower to have 

 for funeral work, and you 

 can depend upon them if you 

 get good bulbs. A good cold 

 storage Gig will flower re- 

 gardless of cloudy days, when 

 your carnations look like 

 pistache nuts or green al- 

 monds and you need flowers. 

 No grower should be without 

 at least a few cold storage 

 Giganteum at all times of 

 the year, because they are 

 one of the most useful and 

 ornamental flowers produced. 

 Horseshoe Brand Cold Stor- 

 age Giganteum are of supe- 

 rior quality. The prices for 

 various sizes are reasonable 

 and we will supply them in 

 any quantity, and at any 

 time of the year. Order 

 early and we will reserve 

 them for you. Your business 

 needs them whether you like 

 to handle them or not, and 

 you must attend to your 

 business or your business 

 will not attend to you.
