Royal Aster 



ROYAI. ASTERS 



A recently developed type that might briefly 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 a long time. The habit of the plants and their free-flower- 

 ing makes them very desirable for beds or borders, 

 while their long-stemmed flowers are ideal for cutting. 

 The form of the flower is well shown in the illustration. 

 We offer six beautiful and distinct colors.
