Early Branching or Royal Asters 



A recently developed type that might briefly be described as 

 an earlj' flowering form of our Superb Late Branching variety, 

 having all the good qualities of the latter, but coming into bloom 

 in July or early August, and lasting in perfect condition for a long 

 time. The habit of the plants and their free-flowering make them 

 very desirable for beds or borders, while their long-stem.med 

 flowers are ideal for cutting. The form of the flower is well shown 

 in the illustration. We offer six beautiful and distinct colors.
