The following are all German grown, procured from the most reliable 



Early Wonder. White. This is the earliest Aster in 

 cultivation, being in full bloom when Queen of the 

 Market is only in bud. Flowers larger than Queen 

 of the Market, borne on long, strong stems and of 

 clear glistening white. Very valuable for cutting . 

 Early Wonder. Pink. A good, clear pink . . . 



Daybreak. Daybreak pink, very double 



Purity. A white Daybreak, very fine 



Lavender Gem. The most beautiful shade of laven- 

 der in any Aster 



Snowdr ft. As early as Queen of the Market, per- 

 fectly douole, Comet-like, large snow-white flowers . 



White Fleece. The finest white Comet type yet in- 

 troduced, long stemmed and a fine florist variety . 



Violet King. A fine late sort, violet purple 



Tr. pkt. Oz. 



We take special pains to secure only the choicest Asters, and nothing better in quality can be had at any price ; beware of low-priced 

 stock, it is liable to be low grade at the same time. 



For early flowering, Queen of the Market is used almost exclusively, although the earliest of all is the new Early Wonder. Snowdrift and 

 Lavender Gem are also very early and very desirable. Our superb Late Branching is in most demand for late, while for mid-season Ostrich 

 Feather, Paeony Perfection.Branching Paeony Flowered, Victoria and Washington^ are all equally desirable. 



American Grown Asters. 



The following varieties stand at the head of Asters for the American climate. The stocks were all grown under our own supervision, and 



we know that the quality in every case is better than can be procured from most sources.
