SEMPLE'S BRANCHING ASTER. 



A choice strain of American-grown Aster, especially 

 prized by florists. The flowers are large, Chrysanthemum- 

 shaped and very double, and lack the stiffness somewhat 

 characteristic of the Aster family. Coming late, thev pro- 

 long the Aster season until frost. A single plant will pro 

 duce twenty or more jjerfect flowers. Mixed. Pkt., 75 

 seeds, 5 cts.; triple pkt., 225 seeds, 12 cts. 



Semple's pink, white (much the same as Vick's "WTiite 

 Branching Aster), lavender, dark blue. Separate, each 

 per pkt., 90 seeds, 6 cts. 



NEW JAPANESE, OR TASSEL, ASTER. 



A distinct new type. The flowers are very large, measuring five or six 

 inches across and have long, curiously waved and t^visted petals. The 

 plant is tall and pyramidal in shape, a single one often bearmg forty or 

 fifty flowers, which are borne on long stems and resemble spmewhat the 

 well knoAvn Japanese Chrysanthemums. Colors, soft flesh pink and rose. 

 This is a valuable addition to the already many beautifvil Aster types 

 and well deserves a trial. Pkt., 75 seeds, 6 cts. 



Springfield, Mo.. February, 1898.— "The seeds I got from you last year all did extra •vrell. 

 I had nicer flowers than those who got seeds from higher-priced houses." Mak 8. WuA^H.
