Branching ASTERS. 



A selection from Semple's Branching Asters, which for size of bloom, freedom 

 of flowering and other good qualities we have never seen equaled. The plants form 

 strong robust bashes about 2 feet high, bearing profusely on long strong stems 

 handsome chrysanthemum -like flowers, many being over 6 inches in diameter. The 

 form of the flowers is beautifully shown in the illustration, and as can be seen 

 have none of the stiffness usual to most Asters, making them particularly desira- 

 ble as cut flowers. They come into flower from two to three weeks later than 

 most sorts, filling in the gap between the general run of Asters and 

 Chrysanthemums. We offer three distinct and beautiful colors : 



5235 Pure White. Per packet, 15 cts. 



5236 Shell Pink. " " 15 cts. 



5237 Lavender Blue. " " 15 cts.

CLIMAX, OR TREE ASTER. 



5238 This new Aster is of the Pceony flowered type, but shows a great 

 improvement over that popular sort. The plant grows about 

 2 feet high, of pyramidal form, and as regularly branched as a 

 pine tree. The flowers, which are of immense size, are of fine 

 substance and very double. The color is a dazzling white, and are 

 produced in great quantity, and somewhat earlier than the Pteony 

 perfection section. 25 cts. per packet. 



MIGNON ASTER. Lilac. 



5191 A charming and delicate new color of this well-known class, con- 

 sidered the most useful for cutting purposes. The flowers are 

 nearly white on opening, changing into a light lilac shade. Is 

 certain to give delight to all who may grow it. 25 cts. per packet. 



BALL, OR JEWEL ASTER. White. 



5196 A new color in this most beautiful class of tall Asters, which was 

 introduced a few years ago. The fine snow white incurved flowers 

 looks like a floral snowball, and are equal in size, form and beauty, 

 to the other colors offered on page 58. 25 cts. per packet.
