Brilliant Ast 



ers 



to make autumn gay 



Everyone wants Asters in the garden. They are ideal border plants, and the long stems make them exceptional as cut 

 flowers. You will find here a wide assortment differing in form and season of blooming. In northern latitudes they should be 

 started in a hotbed. Do not grow them in the same soil two years in succession. [hhA] 



We especially recommend the new wilt-resistant strains. (For further description, see page 49.) 



Double Early Queen of the Market [18 in.] This branching 

 class has handsome blossoms, rather flat, and relatively 

 broad and fuU with incurved petals. It will bloom two 

 weeks earlier than any other sort in our list and remain in 

 good condition until the later varieties begin to flower.
