PEONY PERFECTION ASTER. 



The most noted of all the Asters. The flowers are 

 very double and of great size, which with their 

 beautifully incurved petals gives a perfection of form 

 unsurpassed in any other variety. In habit the plant is much 

 branched and pyramidal-shaped, making the flowers splendid for 

 cutting, while the range of colors is exceedingly wide, containing 

 more shades than any other Aster. Mixed. Pkt., 4 cts. 



lolton. Kan., Mar. 1897.— "The flowers I raised from your seeds, the Pansies and 

 Asters and some of the others mixed, V-ok first premium at our county fair over the 

 greenhouse displays. The Royal Challenge Pansies were beautiful."

DWARF CHRYSANTHEMUM ASTER.

PRIZE QUILLED ASTER. 



This variety is unlike any other in 

 that the petals are tube or quill-shap- 

 ed, bunched in a dense mass, sur- 

 rounded by an involucre of ordinarv- 

 shaped petals. The plants are ta'll 

 and branching and bear a great pro- 

 fusion of blossoms, which are splen- 

 did for cutting, as the blooms remain 

 perfect many days. There is a wide 

 range of colors," including the new 

 yellow which has been much adver- 

 tised of late. — the onlv Yellow Aster 

 thus far developed. Mixed. Pkt., 5c 



QUEEN OF THE MARKET 

 ASTER. 



Sometimes listed as "Queen of the 

 Earlies." The great value of this va- 

 riety is that it is the earliest of all As- 

 ters by two weeks. The plants are 

 somewhat dwarf, very branching and 

 free blooming, and the large, double 

 flowers, borne onven- long "stems, are 

 exceedingly valuable for cutting. 

 Mixed colors. Pkt., 4 cts. 



VICK'S WHITE BRANCH- 

 ING ASTER. 



This variety, of late introduction, is 

 so fine for cutting that it well de- 

 serves and will have a permanent 

 place in the Aster bed. Its flowers 

 are large, pure white and as hand- 

 some as a Chrysanthemum, which 

 they much rese'mble. It is among 

 the'latest to flower, thus prolonging 

 the Aster season, but in the more 

 northern regions needs almost to be 

 started in the house or cold frame. 

 None better for cutting. Pkt., 5 cts.

A tall grower, in habit of growth 

 much like the Perfection Aster, bear- 

 ing perhaps the largest flowers of any 

 oAhe Asters. Solfd colors. Mixed.
