INTRODUCTIONS OF 1911 AND 1912 



While every year we look upon the flower seed novelties placed upon the market with more or less skepticism, we must not 

 overlook the fact that all the really good thintrs of today zvere novelties at one time, and were looked upon with as much, or perhaps 

 njore, suspicion than the novelties of today. There are many novelties offered this year from different sources, but it is our endeavor 

 to select only those we know sotnethiiig about, have seen, or that are highly recommended from sources other than the disseminator. The 

 descriptions are those of the introducers. You cannot afford to be without some of these really good introductions. 



The Astermum 



A splendid new type of the Hohenzollern Aster, of immense size, center very full. The following is the description 

 by the raiser, Albert A. Sawyer : " The plant itself grows straight up with ver 



ASTERMUM. 



by the raiser, Albert A. Sawyer : " The plant itself grows straight up with very strong, sturdy stems, starting near 



base and reaching from i8 to 24 inches. The three colors are unsurpassed; the lavender has never been produced before, the pink is the 

 beautiful pmk of the rose, and the white is as white as the driven snow. All these qualities of the Astermum are the result of painstaking 

 selection extending over a period of eight years. Each plant yields from ten to fifteen blooms, and their solidity is such that they make 

 good shippers." Pink, pkt. 35 cts. . 3 pkts. for $ 1 . Lavender, pkt. 36 ots., 3 pkts. for $1. White, pkt. 35 cts., 3 pk'ts. for $1. CoUectloo, one
