American Beauty Aster 



This beautiful variety is beyond doubt one of the 

 grandest sorts in cultivation. It is of the Late Branch- 

 ing type, growing from 2 to 2 hi feet high. The flowers 

 are large and full, with incurved petals measuring 

 from 4 to 5 inches in diameter, and are borne on stems 

 from 15 to 20 inches long. We offer the following colors: 

 (See illustration.) 



1215 Carmine Rose. The exact color of 

 the world-famous American Beauty 

 rose Pkt. ISc. 



1217 Lavender. An exquisite shade of 



pure lavender Pkt. ISc. 



1210 Purple. Surpassingly rich purple, of 



perfect form Pkt. 13c.

1224 This is a most welcome addition to our garden Asters, for it is the 

 latest of all — thus lengthening the Aster season by at least two weeks, com- 

 ing flnto bloom just after all other varieties have passed their prime. The 

 plant is a large, strong grower, bearing immense double pure shell-pink 

 flowers of lasting substance on long stems Pkt. ISc. 



Mikado Rose Aster 



1228 Great shaggy flowers of long, curled and twisted petals, 

 resembling large Japanese Chrysanthemums. They are carried 

 on long stems and are good for cutting. Color deep brilliant 

 rose. The plants are ofspreading habit and bloom very early. 

 Mikado is a branching variety bred from Giant Comet, and is 

 increasing in popularity year by year. (See illustration.)

The Mikado Pose Asters were lovely and did not seem to mind 

 the heat. It was my first experience with Phlox Drummondi which 

 was very satisfactory.

The Seeds I had from you last year were the best I had. The A sters 

 were perfect. I think they were the best for miles around and much 

 admired by all who saw them. 



Mr. WM. BOOTH.

I want to tell you of the American Beauty Asters I planted in the flower bed 



on my lot in the l\ew Forest Hill cemetery last year. When I tell you that an 15 



plants there were I dare say over 200 flowers, some were 4 inches in diameter. Must 



say they were greatly admired by many who visited the cemetery for persons asked where 



I purchased the seed for such fine Asters.
