MAULE'S SUPERIOR ASTE R S— T EST E D AND GUARANTEED TO GROW 



Every Garden - Large or Small - Should Include 



Maule's Beautiful Asters 



Asters, or China Asters as they are often called, .are easy to grow and 

 give a wonderful display of large showy blooms which are suitable for 

 beds, borders, and for cutting. There are quite a few types to choose 

 from, according to the arrangement and shape of the petals which 

 compose the large double blooms, and there is also quite some differ- 

 ence in the blooming season. You may select early, mid-season, or 

 late varieties to suit your particular purpose, or better still, plant some 

 of each. 



For early blooming start Aster seed indoors in boxes during March and set the young 

 plants into the garden after all danger of frost has passed, or you may sow the seed 

 outdoors when the nights have become balmy. You may start the seed outdoors 

 either in a special seed bed or sow where they are to bloom. 



Maule's Earliest Blooming 



This is the earliest-blooming type of all Asters with lovely, large, rounded 

 blooms composed of moderately long, broad petals. The blooms are carried 

 on medium stems, sufficiently long for cutting. Also very valuable for bed- 

 ding. The plants grow 15 to 18 in. tail and bloom during June. Start the 

 seed indoors during February or March.

The King Asters represent a mid-season type with 

 flowers which are distinct in every way. They 

 have long narrow petals which are rolled length- 

 wise, giving the petals a needle-like appearance 

 and the entire flower a somewhat porcupine re- 

 semblance. The plants make an upright growth 

 about 2 ft. tall. They branch close to the ground 

 which accounts for the long flower-stems. We 

 have selected the four best colors and are offering 

 them here together with a mixture.

Improved Giant 

 California Sunshine 



1089 Mixed These Asters represent a de- 

 cided departure from the conventional form of 

 all other Asters offered by us. The blooms are 

 very large and have long graceful outer ray 

 petals. The center of the blooms is filled with 

 smaller tubular petals which end in a small 

 four-pointed star. This combination gives a 

 lovely effect as shown in the illustration above. 

 The plants grow 1 \i ft. tall and bloom during 

 mid-season. Includes light and deep rose, 

 lieht and deep blue, purple, and other colors. 

 Pkt. 25c; Vi oz. 65c; Vi oz. $1.20. 



Early Branching Royal 



1100 Mixed Colors The Royal Asters come into 

 bloom just after Maule's Earliest Blooming have 

 passed their prime. The plants are of somewhat 

 taller growth, reaching a height of 2 to 23^ ft. 

 They carry their large, well rounded blooms on 

 extra long stems which makes them desirable for 

 larger beds, borders, and for cutting. The fine 

 double flowers measure 3}^ in. across and are 

 composed of broad, medium-long flower petals 

 which curve inward. Toward the center the 

 smaller petals completely cover the center and 

 often show a whorl-like formation. This is a very 

 free-blooming and large-flowered Aster which en- 

 joys the greatest popularity with all kinds of 

 gardeners. Pkt. 10c; Vi oz. 30c; Vi oz. 50c.
