Aster, Daybreak. 



Ji Qjuartette of American 

 Asters. 



The finest on earth. Clear, pure colors. 

 Graceful habit. 



Daybreak, One of the best Asters ever 

 raised, magnificent flowers 

 on long stems, globe-shaped, of the sweet- 

 est color ever seen. Delicate sea-shell pink, 

 similar to Daybreak Carnation, profuse 

 bloomer. Packet, 100 seeds, 10c. ; 3 for 

 35c. 



Purity. Identical in size, form and habit 

 to Daybreak ; flowers, pure glis- 

 tening white. The handsomest and best of 

 all white Asters. Packet, 100 seeds, lOc; 

 3 for 85c. 



Snowdrift. ^T^i^ Aster is a phenomenon, 

 because it is the earliest to 

 bloem and has immense fluffy, plumy snow- 

 white flowers of the ostrich feather type, 

 borne on long stems, making it a superb 

 sort for cutting. Packet, 100 seeds, 13c.; 

 3 for 30c. 



Lavender Gem. One of the most 



beautiful Asters 

 which ever came uii4sr our notice. It is of 

 true Comet type, witfiiarge, artistic, loosely 

 arranged flowers, and as the plant is of 

 branching habit, they are on long, wiry 

 stems, while the color is the most charming 

 shade of lavender imaginable. A gem in- 

 deed, either for cutting or bedding. 



Packet, 100 seeds, 18c.; 3 for 30c.

Superb Branching Jisters. 



(Semple's Branching.) 



These American Asters thrive better in our climate 

 than any of the imported sorts. The plants make 

 strong branching bushes 2 to SJ^ feet high, bearing on 

 long, strong stems, often 20 inches long, their hand- 

 some Chrysanthemum-like flowers, which average over 

 5 inches across. For vases and cut flowers for the house, 

 they are magnificent. By far the most satisfactory 

 Aster grown. Bloom August and September.
