Aster-Mikado Pink 



A fine new variety. Petals are nar- 

 row, very long and gracefully reflexed, 

 making it the fluffiest Aster we have 

 ever seen. In color it is a most ex- 

 quisite shade of shell pink. For a 

 mid-season pink Aster it is without a 

 rival. The plants are unusually vigor- 

 ous, succeeding everywhere. It is not 

 uncommon to find plants with a dozen 

 long, strong, graceful stems each crown- 

 ed with flowers from four to six inches 

 in diameter. Price per pkt. 10 ctg. 



Aster— New Hohenzollern 



The finest type of the Comet or Ostrich Feather Asters. Flowers large, nearly eight inches in 

 diameter, quite similar in form to a Japanece Chrysanthemum, with long, curled and twisted petals. 

 A truly magnificent Aster, producing flowers in great abundance. Borne on long stems they make cut 

 flowers par excellence. Mixed Colors. Price per pkt. 10 cts., 2 pkts. 15 cts. 



Aster- -Peerless Pink 



An improved type of the Branching Aster, bearing their magnificent large blooms in profusion on 

 strong stems averaging 18 inches long; many flowers measure 4 to 5 inches across and as double as a 

 rose. The color is a rich lovely shell pink of exquisite beauty. Whether used for cutting or for 

 bedding, we feel sure this grand Aster will become popular. Per pkt. 10 cts. 



Aster— Violet King 



Of the Branching type in growth, with long stiff stems. In form the flower is entirely distinct; 

 petals resemble the quilled sorts, but are much larger and broader, those in the center being fantastically 

 twisted, curled and incurved, completely covering the crown. The bloom is round, full and very large, 

 many measuring 4 to 5 inches across. Its color is a soft violet lilac. Per pkt. 10 cts. 



Dimorphotheca Aurantica 



AFRICAN GOLDEN DAISY 



A rare and extremely showy annual, discov- 

 ered in South Africa. It will quickly become a 

 great favorite everywhere on account of its very 

 easy culture and beautiful colored flowers. The 

 plants grow about a foot high and are very 

 profuse in flowering. Its Marguerite-like 

 blossoms, 2Y2 inches in diameter, show a pe- 

 culiarly rich glossy orange gold, with a dark 

 center. Well adapted for groups or borders, 

 it produces its pretty flowers very early in 

 sunny situations and will continue to flower 

 during the summer months. A bed in bloom 

 is a magnificent sight in bright days. 

 Price per pkt. 10 cts., 2 pkts. 15 cts.
