MAULE'S GIANT AMERICAN ASTERS 



In recent years we have paid particular attention to American grown Asters, for they have 

 greatly increased the popularity of this flower. We know of no other flower so easily raised from 

 seed, which combines so much beauty with grace and usefulness and are more satisfactorv than 

 Asters. They make a brilliant effect when grown in masses and furnish a constant supply 'of cut 

 flowers. On our second cover page we illustrate six sorts 

 in colors. Every garden, large or small, should contain 

 Asters. 



991 PACIFIC BEAUTY, A new variety of the Crego 

 type, with immense flowers, the petals of which are long,_ 

 wide and gracefully curled. The color is a beautiful' 

 shade of rich lavender. This exquisite coloring, combined 

 wath the unusually attractive appearance of the flowers, 

 is sure to make this variety a very popular one.

GIAXT ASTERMrM. A beautiful strain of the Comet 

 type, in size the peer of the grandest Chrysanthemums: 

 hence the appropriate name of Astermums. A conspicuous 

 and valuable border, bedding or pot plant, attaining a 

 height of IS to 24 inches. The flowers are large with long, 

 gracefully curled petals. Unrivaled for table decoration, 

 and particularly appreciated as cut flowers, coming in 

 bloom a little earlier than the Crego type.
