Aster HARDY ANNUAL 



There is a charm about Asters which very few of our midsummer 

 flowers can equal, and there is an ever-increasing demand for them 

 from all branches of our trade, both florists and home-gardeners. 

 Either as a bedding plant or for cutting, we know of nothing which is 

 finer in its class. The quality, size, color and season of blooming 

 makes careful selection necessary in order to have the best results. 

 The plants are unusually hardy and will stand some frost without 

 serious results. By proper planting a continuous bloom can be had 

 from July to nearly November. It will be notfd that the Stokes 

 Standard Asters are omitted this year in accordance with our plan to 

 eliminate all names which are not distinctly varietal. 



QUEEN OF THE MARKET ASTERS 



The Queen of the Market is, perhaps, one of the most desirable and 

 one of the earliest of all difi'erent varieties. The plants will attain a 

 height of about 18 inches and are very profuse bloomers. This va- 

 riety is one of the most desirable for cutting and is, therefore, in 

 large use by florists as well as for outdoor growing in home-gardens.
