Imperial or ''Daybreak" Asters 



These comparatively new Asters — made in America — are midsummer flowering varieties 

 healthy and vigorous in growth, of upVight bushy habit and very profuse bloomers — 

 veritable bouquets of flowers — and in consequence are unrivalled for bedding. The 

 flowers — borne on good long, stiff stems — are so very double as to appear almost 

 like balls. The petals, short and narrow, are slightly folded and of durable, 

 lasting substance. While splendid as cut flowers, it is as the bedding 

 Asters — par excellence — for our American climate and conditions, that 

 the Imperial Asters are especially recommended.
