ROVAL ASTERS 
A recently developed type that might 
riefly be described as an early 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 @ 
along time. The habit of the plants and € a 
their free fowering make them very desir- © 
able for beds or borders, while their long- 
stemmed flowers are ideal for cutting. The 
form of the flower is well shown in the 
illustration on page 69. We offer six 
beautiful and distinct colors.

NEW RED ASTER “SENSATION” 
1442 This is the reddest of all Red Asters, the color being a rich 
garnet or ox-Llood red, which glistens in the sunshine like a 
live coal. The plants are of free-branching habit, about 
18 inches high; the very double flowers, averaging 34 inches across, are 
borne freely on stems a foot long from early in August till the close of Sep- 
tember. The intense color shows up well when cut, and makes a very bril- 
liant bit of color in a bed or border. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts, 
Improved American Victoria Asters . 
This is by far the finest of all Asters for beds or borders where an even growth 
and a mass of flowers are wanted for effect; the sturdy upright plants, 12 to 15 
inches high, carry not less than 50 flowers each, producing a mass of color un- 
equalled by any other; blooms from early August till late October. (See cut. )
