Wash- 

 ington 

 Hster. 



A tall grower, 

 in habit of its 

 growth much 

 like the Paeony 

 Perfection As- 

 ter. It bears 

 perhaps the 

 largest flowers 

 of any of the 

 Asters. Solid 

 colors. Mixed.

Cardiff, la., Mar., 

 19uo. — "My Asters 

 grown from your 

 seed last year were 

 beautiful." 



Mrs. Lois Anqell. 



New Japanese, or Tassel, Aster. 



A distinct new type. The flowers are very large, measuring five or six 

 inches across and have long, curiously waved and twisted petals. A single 

 plant often has forty or fifty flowers, which are borne, on long stems and re- 

 semble somewhat the well known Japanese Chrysanthemums. Colors, soft 

 flesh pink and rose. Pkt., 5 cts.; 2 pkts., 8 cts. 



California Giant Silver*Tipped Aster. 



A new Aster of great beauty. The plants are rugged and branching, and 

 bear elegantly formed double chrysanthemum-like flowers, the petals being 

 broad and slightly recurved. The tip of each petal is tipped with silvery 

 white, contrasting beautifully with the brilliant blue or rose pink beneath, 

 and making a very striking flower. 



Silver^Tipped, Blue Aster, pkt., 6 cts. 



Silver^Tipped, Pink Aster, Pkt., 6 cts. 



Victoria Aster. 



One of the most desirable strains and much used by florists. The petals 

 curve outward and overlap each other regularlv, and when the plant is in 

 bloom the foliage is completely hidden by the massive flowers. Mixed. 

 Pkt., 4ctS,; 2 pkts., 8 cts. Victoria, blue shades, Pkt., t\ cts.; Yic* 

 toria, rose shades, Pkt., fl. cts.; Victoria, white, Pkt.. q. cts. 



Jewel, or Ball, Aster. 



This variety is somewhat after the Peony Perfection type, 

 with petals incurving, forming handsome ball-shaped flow- 

 ers, splendid for cutting. The plant is tall and much branch- 

 ed and a great bloomer. Mixed. Pkt., 5 cts.; 2 pkts., 8c. 



Prize Quilled Aster. 



This variety is unlike any other in that the petals are tube 

 or quill-shaped, bunched in a dense mass, surrounded by an 

 involucre of ordinary shaped petals. The plants are tall and 

 bear a great profusion of blossoms, which remain perfect 

 many days after cutting. Mixed. Pkt., H cts.; 2 pkts., 8c. 



Tfeligh, Neb., Sept., 1900. — "I wish you could see my Aster bed this fall. 

 / I planted them in a hot bed and every seed came up, and now they are the 

 wonder of the town— so large and so many varieties of color. My heliotrope, 

 pinks and verbenas have done finely." Mrs. Dr. A. F. Conebtt.
