American Beauty 

 Asters have gor- 

 geous blooms of 

 giant size. 



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. 



American Beauty Asters 



This is one of the finest American Asters com- 

 ing into bloom late in September and lasting way 

 into October. The plants grow nearly 3 feet tall. 

 They are vigorous and strong, bearing very large, 

 round, fully double blooms which give a magnifi- 

 cent display in the garden and as cut flowers.
