 New Aster— HEART OF FRANCE 



1306 The best pure red Aster ever introduced. Heart of France 

 opens red as the purest ruby, deepens with age and retains 

 its remarkable beauty to the very end. The flowers are 

 large and full, with never a trace of hollow center. The 

 plants are of branching type and very robust habit. The 

 stems are long and strong and have very few laterals. 

 The plants begin to bloom quite early in the season and 

 open fully with the mid-season varieties. They retain 

 their brilliancy and luster for a longer period than almost 

 any other color Pkt. 25c.

NEW ROYAL ASTERS 



A beautiful class and the best of the early Mid-Season Asters. 

 A little later than the "Queen of the Earlies." but superior to 

 the latter. The plants are of branching habit, about 2 feet 

 high; the flowers being larger, very double, and the stems are 

 longer, stronger and more upright in growth. The petals are 

 broad and incurved, or shell-shaped, giving the flower a charming 

 and distinctive effect. They are vigorous and sturdy growers, 

 branching from the base of the plants. Although early — Mid- 

 Season Asters — they remain in flower a long time; the flowers 

 being of splendid substance; splendid cut flower type.
