ASTERS.... 



I beg special and careful 

 attention to my 1901 as* 

 ter list. It includes the 

 cream of the standard 

 varieties, and the seed, 

 which is grown for me by 

 an aster expert, I guar- 

 antee to be unsurpas- 

 sed in germination 

 and quality and style of 

 flowers. A few of many 

 testimonials voluntarily 

 sent me are given, and I 

 should be gladto print all 

 such expressions of satis- 

 faction did not lack of 

 space forbid. 



No better Aster mixture 

 on the market than my 

 Imperial aster Mix* 

 ture. It contains all my 

 named varieties. See p. 



Syracuse, >". Y., March, 1900.— 

 "My Asters from your seed were 

 admired very much."

New Giant Branching Comet Aster 



A grand new Comet Aster. The flowers are very 

 large, sometimes measuring six inches in diameter, 

 and the petals are so twisted and curled as to give a 

 decidedly Chrysanthemum effect. The flower-bear- 

 ing stems are long and splendid for cutting. The 

 originator claims that there are "no handsomer As- 

 ters in existence. "' Like the ordinary Comet, they 

 are early flowering, hence should be sown with late 

 varieties to give a succession of bloom. Mixed. Pkt. 

 5cts. ; 2pftB.,8ets.

 having a white center, with a wide margin of some brilliant color. Pkt., 4 cts.;

Dwarf Chrysanthemum Aster. 



In size of flowers and habit of growth, no dwarf variety is more desirable. The 

 flowers are large, chrysanthemum-shaped, and produced in clusters of fifteen to 

 twenty, or even more, in a truss, each plant forming in itself a beautiful bouquet. 

 It will be found very useful for edgings, beds and for pot culture. Mixed. Pkt., H
