FERRY'S SEEDS 



T-m/^'^ ^ -. 



ASTER [hhA] What a brilliant display asters make in the garden 

 in early autumn ! We offer a splendid assortment of the chief 

 types which differ in form and season of blooming. Asters are 

 deal bedding plants, and the long stems of many sorts make 

 them exceptional as cut flowers. They do well in a strong rich 

 soil. In northern latitudes they should be started in a hot bed. 



Double Early Queen of the Market [18 in.] For an early 



blooming type this branching class offers many advantages. The 



handsome blossoms, which are rather flat, are relatively broad 



and full with incurved petals. It will bloom 2 weeks earlier 



than any other sort in our list and remain in good 



condition until the later varieties begin to flower. 



Very satisfactory for cutting.

Double King (Narrow Needle Petal) [2 ft.] This un- 

 usual Aster differs from all others by producing 

 large roimded heads composed of narrow tubular 

 or quilled petals. The long stems are erect and 

 sturdy. The plants bloom before most of the late 

 kinds. They are effective in the border, and the 

 flowers are excellent for bouquets.

Double Giant Crego [2 ft.] This class, also called 

 "Ostrich Plume" and "Giant Comet," blooms a 

 few days after the King varieties. The double 

 flowers are of fine size, have long, shaggy, twisted 

 petals, and are borne abundantly on branching 

 plants of robust growth. It is undoubtedly the 

 most popular of all Asters for American gardens.

Single Perennial or Michaelmas Daisy [hP-3 ft.] In late 

 autumn, when most other flowers are past, this fine native 

 flower from New England comes into its own. The plants 

 are sturdy, branch well near the top, and produce quan- 

 tities of flowers. These are daisy-like in shape with small 

 contrasting discs and come in a variety of soft and vivid 

 colors. Placed here and there among shrubbery or at 

 intervals in the hardy border, they supply the last patches 

 of color of the season.

Double Giants of California [232 ft.] Selected from the Cregos, 

 this type has flowers of the same form, but they are larger 

 and carried on longer stems. This makes them better as cut 

 flowers.

Each of the above: 3^ oz. 50c; pkt. 15c 



Double American Branching [2 ft] Of all asters this class 

 produces the most regular and symmetrical flowers. The plants 

 are quite spreading and bear many good sized blooms which are 

 fully double with petals evenly incurved. This sort blooms in 

 season with the Cregos and is splendidly suited for both 

 bedding and cutting.
