Aster Offer. Any three 5-cent pkts. on this page, 12c; any three 8-cent pkts., 20c. 



SEMPLE'S ASTER 



The Handsomest Strain of Asters 

 Grown. Especially prized by florists. The 

 rTowers are large, chrysanthemum-shaped, 

 and very double, on long, stiff stems, and 

 are splendid for cutting. Coming late, they 

 greatly prolong the Aster season. Use this 

 strain with Queen of the Market and the 

 Comet types and have a succession of the 

 most beautiful Asters from mid-summer to 

 latest frosts.

INVINCIBLE ASTER 



Henderson's famous strain. Very robust 

 plants with exceedingly large flowers, run- 

 ning almost entirely perfect. Prolific and 

 constant bloomers, unsurpassed for cutting 

 and somewhat earlier than the other late- 

 flowering sorts. 



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

 Lavender White 



Light Rose-pink Mixed 



LATE UPRIGHT ASTERS 



Very tall, compact growing, allowing closer 

 planting than the branching varieties, with but 

 little danger of being beaten down by rain. Blos- 

 soms are large and full as in the Branching type, a 

 most satisfactory strain. 



Pkt.. 75 seeds, 5c; 3 pkts.. 12c. 

 Crimson Rose 



Lavender-pink Shell-pink 



Purple Mixed White 



LADY ROOSEVELT ASTER 



This is an exceedingly mammoth Aster and is 

 a rampant grower, producing immense flowers, 5 

 to 6 inches in diameter. The long, broad petals 

 are curled, giving an appearance of a graceful 

 chrysanthemum; color a deep rose-pink. Pkt., 

 75 seeds, 5c. 



VICK'S KING ASTERS 



A distinct class, the long narrow petals having 

 somewhat the appearance of being quilled. 

 Violet King was the first one developed, but new 

 colors are now offered and the word, "King," 

 has become the name of the class. Rose King 

 and White King are especially desirable. 

 Price, pkt., 75 seeds, 5c; 3 pkts., 12c. 



Crimson Rose 



Lavender Violet 



Pink Mixed White 



"SNOW WHITE" ASTER 



Best White Branching Aster 



The stems are long and strong, and as there are 

 no laterals all the strength goes into forming one 

 great fluffy ball of white. No better exhibition 

 variety in white. Pkt., 75 seeds, 8c. 



Enchantress — Branching Type 



ENCHANTRESS ASTER 



A splendid new Aster introduced by Vick, high- 

 ly recommended for commercial growing. The 

 plants are upright in habit, bearing immensely 

 large flowers on long strong stems, making them 

 splendid for cutting. The color is soft pink, like 

 that of the popular Pink Enchantress Carnation. 

 The blooming period is an advantage too. as they 

 come between the mid-season and late blooming 

 sorts. Pkt., 60 seeds, 8c. 



PEERLESS PINK ASTER 



Introduced by Dreer, and said by experts to be 

 the best shell-pink of its type. It is a cross be- 

 tween the pink Crego and late-branching shell- 

 pink, but is more closely related to the latter class 

 in form, color and season of flowering. They bear 

 immense flowers, 4 and 5 inches across of a beau- 

 tiful rose, or shell-pink in color. Pkt., 50 seeds, 8c. 



CRIMSON GIANT ASTER 



Another of Dreer 's Asters, dark blood crimson, 

 of remarkable perfection of form and appearance, 

 the flowers frequently measuring 5 inches across. 

 Pkt., 50 seeds, 8c. 



SENSATION 



A New Red Aster 



This is a long bloomer of the late-branching 

 type, and my grower thinks it the best red bed- 

 ding Aster he has ever seen and says it is the near- 

 est to a true scarlet. The buds are rosy carmine, 

 changing to a beautiful dark velvety scarlet in the 

 fully open flower. Pkt., 50 seeds, 8c; 2 pkts., 14c. 



NEW PEACHBLOW ASTER 



A lovely large aster of the late-branching sort, 

 slightly deeper in color than the popular shell-pink 

 or lavender-pink. Pkt., 50 seeds, 8c.
