THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1933 — THE FINEST SEEDS, BULBS, & PLANTS 



Giant Astermum 



These Asters are extremely popular with many gar- 

 deners. The blooms are not only extremely large but 

 they are heavy, well rounded, and supported by fine 

 long and strong stems. The name Astermum refers 

 to the similarity of the elegantly formed blooms to 

 those of a choice Japanese Chrysanthemum. The 

 individual petals of Astermums are long, narrow, and 

 artistically curled and twisted, which gives the 

 blooms particular charm and grace. Giant Astermum 

 Asters bloom during mid-season and form strong 

 growing, well branched plants 2 to 2J^ ft. tall. The 

 branches start from the base each ending in a large 

 flower on a long stem which gives them their value 

 for cutting. The individual blooms measure 4 in. 

 across.

American Beauty 



This is a magnificent true American strain of Asters which excels all others 

 in vigorous habit, size of bloom, free blooming character, and sturdy growth. 

 They are a mid-season type which will continue to flower freely until cut down 

 by frost. The plants grow 2 to 2?/2 ft. tall and make a graceful, round, well 

 branched bush. Due to the fact that the stems all start near the base of the 

 plants the flowers are extremely long stemmed, which gives them particular 

 value for cutting. The blooms are well rounded and always fully double. 

 They are made up of broad incurved petals gracefully arranged in an orderly 

 but by no means stiff arrangement.

 surpasses anything else ever seen in this popular annual. The blooms are a 

 pure rich red unlike any other red Aster in existence. It has a freshness and 

 vivacity that makes it stand out from all other flowers in the garden. The 

 blooms are large and well formed. They are round and have medium long, 

 incurved, broad petals that cover the center well. The plants grow 15 to 18 

 in. tall and are therefore well suited for beds and borders and excellent for 

 cutting. Pkt. 15c; Vi oz. 35c; Vi oz. 65c.
