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 

 posseses a striking color of its own. This variety is particularly adapted for bedding, 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 blooming the first to middle of August, re- 

 taining its brilliant coloring and full, well-developed flowers until late in the fall.

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 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 flowers are sufficiently large for cutting, either 

 for house decoration or florists use. A medium early bloomer, continuing in flower until late in 

 ths fall; in fact it holds its blooms longer than any other variety we know of. The flowers are largpe 

 and full to the center; petals fine and somewhat incurved: color bright purple.
