Nine Famous American 



( Conti?iued.) 



CREGO'S GIANT WHITE. 



1281 By the most careful and painstaking selection 

 we have, we believe, brought this beautiful Aster 

 to a state of perfection hitherto unknown in this 

 type, of free, sturdy growth, attaining a height of 

 over 2 feet, well branched, with long, strong stems and 

 artistic, fluffy, graceful -flowers, rarely less than 4 inches 

 across and frequently over 5 inches, as fine as any 

 chrysanthemum, and when cut keep longer in good 

 condition than any Aster of this type; in bloom from 

 mid-August on through September; in color a pure, 

 glistening white. ( See illustration on this page. ) 



DAYBREAK. 



1311 Of symmetrical growth and habit; attains a height of 

 18 inches, and produces during August in the greatest 

 profusion perfect globe-shaped double flowers, which 

 are of a delicate pink tint. 



PURITY. 



1395 This variety is identical in every way to Daybreak, 

 being of the same symmetrical growth, height and free- 

 flowering qualities; the flowers, however, instead of 

 being pink, are pure glistening white. 



LAVENDER GEM. 



1353 One of the most beautiful Asters. It is of true Comet 

 type, with large, artistic, looser-arranged flowers on 

 long, wiry stems of the most charmimg shade of 

 lavender imaginable. Begins blooming in July, con- 

 tinuing through August. 



VIOLET KING. 



1482 A distinct variety, similar in habit to the Late Branching 

 type, with long, strong stems, and perfectly double flow- 

 ers of a pleasing, soft shade of violet. (See cut.) 



WHITE FLEECE. 



1494 One of the largest and most perfect of the Comet type, 

 bearing flowers 5 inches and over across, formed into 

 a plumy globe of glistening white; blooms at the same 

 time as Lavender Gem, making a splendid companion.
