Cardinal. 



The Best Bedding Aster Ever Introduced. 



The coloring of this Aster is entirely distinct from any other Aster on the market 

 today; in fact, possesses a striking color of its own. This variety is particularly adapted. 

 for bedding, owing to its free bl >oming qualities and brilliant coloring. "When massed 

 in a bed, its deep vivid cardinal color is as striking as the brilliant scarlet Salvia. Cardi- 

 nal begins blooming the first to middle of August, retaining its brilliant coloring and 

 full, well-developed flowers until late in the fall. Per pkt., 100 seeds, 10 cts; two pkts.„

Early Snowdrift. 



Is Certainly the Earliest Aster in Cultivation. 



The leaves are narrow and sparse, and the branches spring from close to the ground. 

 The entire energy of the plant seems given to the production of twelve to twenty long, 

 slender, upright stems, crowned with immense feathery flowers. The long, recurved petals 

 give the flowers an exceedingly graceful effect, heightened in many cases by the ragged, 

 irregular character of the petals in the center of the flower. The flowers all come per- 

 fectly double. Per pkt., 100 seeds, 10 cts.; two pkts., 15 cts. 



Royal Purple. 



A new strain of Late Branching Aster, growing about fifteen inches high. Its habit 

 of growth is entirely distinct, the stems growing directly from the ground, and not on 

 side shoots from the main stem like other varieties. Nine out of twelve flowers are suffi- 

 ciently large for cutting, either for house decoration or florists' use. A medium early 

 bloomer, continuing in flower until late in the fall; in fact, it holds its blooms longer 

 than any other variety we know of. The flowers are large and full to the center; petals; 

 fine and somewhat incurved; color bright purple. Per pkt., 100 seeds, 10 cts.; two pkts.. 

 15 cts.
