New Royal Aster 



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 lat- 

 ter. The plants are of branching habit, about 2 I m *n 

 feet high; the flowers being larger, very double, 

 and the stems are longer, stronger and more up- 

 right in growth. The petals are broad and in- 

 curved, or shell-shaped, giving the flowers a 

 charming and distinctive effect. They are vigor- 

 ous 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; fine cut flower 

 type. Pkt,

 tumn garden. (See illustration.)

"The Asters I purchased from you turned out wonderfully. I have never 

 seen Asters like them outside a nursery. I have Semple's Late Flowering As- 

 ters measuring 6 and 6y& inches across." Mrs. M. ANDERSON, 



Springfield Gardens, Long Island, N. Y. 

 "I had fine success with the Aster seeds I bought last spring. Expect to 

 raise several thousand plants next year. The Semple's Late Flowering Asters 

 are about 3'A feet high and loaded with buds and flowers."
