COLLECTION OF 

 ASTERS. 



One packet of 

 each of my ton va- 

 rieties, 36 cts. 



ASTER. 



A distinct new type. The flowers are very large, measuring five or six 

 inches across and have long, curiously waved and twisted petals. The 

 plant is tall and pyramidal in shape, a single one often bearing forty or 

 fifty flowers, which are borne on long stems and resemble somewhat the 

 well known Japanese Chrysanthemums. Colors, soft flesh pink and rose. 

 This is a valuable addition to the already many beautiful Aster types and 

 well deserves a trial. Pkt., 5 cts. 



WZASHINGTON ASTER. 



A tall grower, in habit of growth much like the Perfection Aster, bear- 

 ing perhaps the largest flowers of any of the Asters. Solid colors. 

 Mixed. Pkt., 4 cts. ; 3 pkts., 10 cts. 



IMPERIAL ASTER MIXTURE, 



For those who would like to try all of my ten varieties I offer a mixed 

 packet, containing all these in equal proportion. A packet of this mix- 

 ture will surprise you with almost every shade of Aster grown, giving 

 early and late bloomers, and many styles and shades of flowers. My 

 Asters in the past have received many compliments, and I feel sure no 

 other mixture will give better satisfaction. Pkt., 6 otg.; 3 pkts., 10 cts. 



SEMPLE'S BRANCHING ASTER. 



The handsomest strain of Asters grown, especially 

 prized by florists. The flowers are large, chrysanthemum- 

 shaped and very double, and lack the stiffness somewhat 

 characteristic of the Aster family. Coming late, they pro- 

 long the Aster season until frost. A single plant will pro- 

 duce twenty or more perfect flowers. Mixed. Pkt., 5 cts. ; 

 3 pkts., 12 cts. 



Semple's Pink, "Whit© (much the same as Tick's White 

 Branching Aster), Liavender, Dark Blue. Separate, each 

 per pkt., 6 ct«.
