We offer seed of the finest, most carefully selected strains 

 which will produce extra large and well developed blooms of 

 choicest quality. Asters require thorough preparation of the 

 soil which should be enriched with bone meal, wood ashes, and 

 a little air-slaked lime. Varieties marked W-R represent the 

 new wilt-resistant strains. 



Beauty Asters 



This is one of the finest American Asters, coming into 

 bloom late in September and lasting way into October. 

 Often the plants produce their finest flowers after we 

 have had some light frost. The plants grow nearly 3 

 feet high. They are vigorous and strong branching, 

 bearing very large round blooms which are completely 

 double to the very center. The outer petals reflex and 

 the center ones curve gracefully inward. A magnificent 

 Aster for both garden display and for cutting.
