One of each of the follow- 
ing seven types of asters 
New Invincible 



EXTRA EARLY EXPRESS 
COMET. An entirely new early 
flowering section of exceptionally 
great merit, not only for garden 
purposes, but these are even of 
more value for early cut flowers, as 
before early asters have been pro- 
duced at the expense of size. These 
are really large, in fact, we consider 
them the biggest early aster we 
know of, the flowers being at least 
4 inches across, double to the cen- 
tre, of graceful Comet type, with 
long stems. Plant sturdy and 
healthy, of branching habit; free 
bloomers. 
Dark Blue. Packet, 10 cents. 
Pure White. Packet, 10 cents. 
Brilliant Rose. Packet, 10 cts. 
Mixed. Packet, 10 cents. 
NEW DWARE TRIUMPH. 
Large scarlet flowers, 244 to 3 inches 
across, of exquisite form. One of 
the most beautiful and distinct as- 
ters in cultivation. A free bloomer; 
10 inches tall. Fine for borders or 



pot culture. Packet, 10 cents.

MULTIFLORA BOUQUET. One of the most exquisite of all the 
asters, and especially suited for pot culture or for a place in the low 
border. Extremely dwarf, being only 8 or 9 inches high, but almost 
smothered with blossoms. The colors are white and pink, the shades 
blending in a most pleasing manner. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 
CHRISTMAS 
TREE. Gets its 
name from habit 
of growth. It is 
the most profuse 
bloomer of all 
the asters. 
Among my trials 
it is one of the 
earliest. The 
flowers are 2 to 
2% inches in 
diameter. The 
plant attains a 
height of 15 
inches, but coy- 
ers an area 20 
inches in diam- 
eter. Mixed.
