CURRIE'S CHOICE AMERICAN GROWN. 



The most popular and beautiful of all our hardy annuals. No plant pro- 

 duces 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 results are obtained from rich, well- 

 prepared soil. Sow indoors in February or March for early flowering, trans- 

 planting into shallow boxes or pots as soon as the seedlings have formed 

 three leaves; plant out doors when danger from freezing is past. For late 

 flowering they can be sown outdoors in May or June. 



SEMPLE'S BRANCHING. 



A variety flowering late in the season, of strong branching habit and ro- 

 bust growth, bearing flowers with twisted or wavy petals or remarkable 

 size, exceedingly handsome and graceful. The flowers are borne on very 

 long, stiff stems, 'which makes it extremely valuable for arranging in vases 

 or working into floral pieces.

1 Packet each of the 5 named Semple's Branching Asters, for 35c. 



GIANT OSTRICH PLUME. 



As the name suggests, this 

 class of Asters is different from 

 other types, inasmuch as the 

 flowers are free from all stiff- 

 ness, forming instead graceful 

 plume-like blossoms of large 

 size, and beautiful colors, the 

 flowers often measuring over 6 

 inches across. The plants 



branch out freely into well- 

 formed bushes of robust habit, 

 growing to a height of 18 inches, 

 and bearing an abundance of 

 long-stemmed double flowers 

 with long, narrow, loosely 

 curled petals, admirably adapted 

 for cut bloom.

 Mixed Colors, pkt. 10c.
