LATEST OF ALL ASTERS— AUTUMN GLORY 



Autumn Glory. This is a most welcome addition to our garden Asters 

 for it is the latest of all — thus lengthening the Aster season by at least 

 two weeks, coming into bloom just after all other late varieties have 

 passed their prime. The plant is a large, strong grower, bearing immense 

 double pure deep shell-pink flowers of lasting substance on long 

 stems Pkt. 15c. 



EXPRESS COMET ,£&"£,",&, ASTERS 



Early flowering Comet Asters of 

 great merit, not only for garden pur- 

 poses, but of even more value for early 

 cut flowers. Extra -early flowering 

 have heretofore been produced at the 

 expense of either size, doubleness, sub- 

 stance or length of stem, but the Ex- 

 press Comets are nearly as good as 

 later-flowering sorts and come into 

 bloom in the open ground with us by 

 the middle of July. They are the larg- 

 est early Asters of which -we know, 

 flower 3^ to4 inches across, of double 

 Comet type; splendid substance and 

 long stems; plants healthy and sturdy, 

 branching habit; 18 inches high; free 

 bloomers.

 size, color and profusion of bloom.

 well-leaved stems. Most effective for either garden decoration or cut 

 and vased. The plants are good healthy growers of branching bush 

 habit, 15 to 18 inches in height Pkt. 15c 



Mikado Rose. Great shaggy flowers composed of long, curled and 

 twisted petals, resembling large Japanese Chrysanthemums. They 

 are carried on long stems and so are good for cutting. Color deep 

 brilliant rose. The plants are of spreading habit and bloom very 

 early Pkt. 10c.

 early Mid-Season Asters. A little later

 ior to the latter. The plants are of 

 branching habit, about 2 feet high;the 

 flowers being larger, very double, and

 more upright in growth. The petals
