Imperial or "Daybreak" Asters 



THE BEDDING ASTER PAR EXCELLENCE FOR 

 AMERICAN CONDITIONS 



These comparatively new Asters — made in America — are Mid-summer 

 flowering varieties, healthy and vigorous in growth, of upright bushy habit 

 and very profuse bloomers — veritable bouquets of flowers — and in con- 

 sequence 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 the 

 bedding Aster — par excellence — for our American climate and 

 conditions.

CUSTOMER'S COLLECTION 



EXPRESS COMET t£gr ASTERS 



Early flowering Comet Asters of great merit, not only for garden 

 purposes, but of even more value for early cut flowers. Extra- 

 early flowering have heretofore been produced at the expense of 

 either size, doubleness, substance or length of stem, but the Express 

 Comets are nearly as good as late-flowering sorts and come into 

 bloom in the open ground with us by the middle of July. They are 

 the largest early Asters of which we know, flower 3'i inches to 

 4 inches across, of double Comet type; splendid substance and long 

 stems; plants healthy and sturdy, branching habit; 18 inches high; 

 free bloomers. Per
