ASTER MIXTURES 



EXHIBITION ASTER MIXTURES 



A New Departure. The increasing demand 

 for Asters as cut-flowers makes it desirable to grow 

 them in separate colors. I therefore offer my new- 

 est and largest sorts, those especially adapted for 

 exhibition or commercial purposes, in five groups, 

 as follows. Read and tell me if this is not a meth- 

 od vou have long wished for. 



Price, per pkt., 100 seeds, 5c; any 3 pkts., 12c. 



Exhibition Dark Blue and Purple Asters. 

 A mixture including these shades in the Comet, 

 Crego, Queen of the Market and Semple's and 

 Roval and Upright classes, 5 sorts. 



Exhibition Deep Pink and Rose Asters. 

 A mixture of these shades in the following classes : 

 Comet, Crego, Queen of the Market, Upright and 

 Semple's; also Lady Roosevelt, 6 sorts. 



Exhibition Lavender Asters. A mixture in- 

 cluding lavender shades in the Comet, Crego, 

 Queen of the Market and Semple's classes, also 

 Vick's Lavender Gem, 6 sorts.

 light pink, including all the light pink shades 

 listed under Comet, Crego, Daybreak, Rochester,

 ieties as have tested well. A large percentage

SPECIAL EXHIBITION PRIZE 

 ASTERS, MIXED 



This is a special mixture which I make myself 

 including only large-flowering varieties, in an 

 attractive range of colors, especially designed for 

 those who are growing for exhibition or com- 

 mercial purposes, and I do not hesitate to class 

 it with the best on the market. I have hundreds 

 of letters commending my Asters, and know that 

 no other general mixture will give better satis- 

 faction. Pkt., 75 seeds, 5c; 3 pkts., 12c; Y% 

 or.. 40c. 



IMPERIAL ASTER MIXTURE 



This is another of my special mixtures, con- 

 taining all the named varieties I list excepting 

 the later novelties. And I have also obtained for 

 it a mixture from the trial grounds of extensive 

 Aster growers, which contains their unnamed 

 novelties, including some of a very distinct new 

 type. This mixture will therefore be a close rival 

 of my Exhibition Prize strain. Pkt., 100 seeds, 

 5c; y 8 oz., 35c.

CUT-WORM KILLER 



A coarse powder to be sprinkled near the plants to be protected. It has an enticing odor and 

 the worms prefer it to vegetation. Chickens or birds will not be poisoned if they eat the dead worms, 

 as in the case of some cut-worm killers. 1 pound is sufficient for 175 plants when in hills, or for 100 

 feet in rows. There is no guess work about it; the dead worms tell the story. Price: 1 lb. sprinkler 

 boxes. 25c, not postpaid, mailing weight 2 lbs. You can order it sent by express, or forward 

 sufficient to cover postage by parcel post.
