ASTERS 



Daybreak. 



The plants grow stiffly erect, 

 eighteen to twenty inches in 

 height with ten to fifteen 

 branches, each bearing a very 

 large extremely double flower 

 with incurved petals. The 

 broad silvery petals are suf- 

 fused with soft delicate pink. 

 Per pkt., 100 seeds, 10 cts. 



Queen of the Market. 



Of graceful spreading habit, 

 it is in full flower two weeks 

 before most other Asters. 

 Deep blue, white, pink, and 

 rose in mixture. 

 Per pkt., 100 seeds, 5 cts, 



White Ostrich Plume. 



Plants of strong branching 

 growth, fifteen to eighteen 

 inches in height. The large size 

 of the flowers, the fine feath- 

 ery appearance, long stiff 

 stem, and parly flowering 

 habit combine to make it 

 most desirable for decorations. 



Per pkt., 100 seeds, 10c. 



Daybreak Aster 



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 bed- 

 ding, owing to its free blooming qualities and brilliant coloring. When massed in a bed. its 

 deep vivid cardinal color is as striking as the brilliant scarlet Salvia. Cardinal begins bloom- 

 ing the first to middle of August, retaining its brilliant coloring and full, well-developed flow- 

 ers until late in the fall. Per pkt., 100 seeds. 15 cts. 



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 char- 

 acter of the petals in the center of the flower. The flowers all come perfectly double. 



Per pkt., 100 seeds, 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 Sowers are sufficiently large for 

 cutting, either for house decoration or florists use. A medium early bloomer, continuing in 

 flower until late in the fall; in faei it holds its blooms longer than any other variety we know 

 of. The flowers are large and full to the center; petals line and somewhat incurved : color 

 bright purple. Per pkt., 100 seeds, 15 cts,
