CURRIW’S CHOICE AMERICAN GROWN. 
The most popular and beautiful of all our hardy annuals. No plant 
produces so handsome an effect as a bed or border of Asters, and no 
garden should be without a liberal supply of these old favorites, as 
they furnish immense quantities of handsome and _ brilliant 
colored blooms during*the greater part of our summers. The best re- 
sults are obtained from rich, well-prepared soil. Sow indoors in 
February or March for early flowering, transplanting into shallow . 
boxes or pots as soon as the seedlings have formed three leaves; plant 
out doors when danger frem freezing is past, For late flowering they 
can be sown outdoors in May or June. : Pe
