Heart of France Aster 



(Shown in colors on this page) 

 1306 The best pure Red Aster ever introduced. Heart of France opens red 

 as the purest ruby, deepens with age and retains its remarkable beauty 

 to the very end. The flowers are large and full with never a trace 

 of hollow center. The plants are of branching type and very robust 

 habit. The stems are long and strong and have very few laterals. 

 The plants begin to bloom quite early in the season and open fully 

 with the mid-season varieties. They retain their brilliancy and lustre 

 for a longer period than almost any other color Pkt. 25c. 



Imperial or "Daybreak* ' Aster 



(Shown in colors on this page) 

 These Asters — made in America — are Mid-summer flowering varieties, 

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

 profuse bloomers — veritable bouquets of flowers. 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 for our 

 American climate and conditions.
