 ASTERS 



Chrysanthemum-like flowers em-passed by no plant 

 in beauty. They vary in color from a dehcate 

 pink and white to deep reds and purples. The 

 plants thrive best in rich soil, but with sufficient 

 moisture will give satisfaction in almost any 

 garden plot, and blossom in profusion for 90 days 

 or till late in the Autumn, proving a constant 

 delight even after other flowers have been killed 

 by frost. They are especially adapted to house 

 decoration, and when cut and placed in water 

 hold their regal heads erect from one to two weeks 

 without withering. A bed of Asters in the garden 

 or on the lawn ineffective and beautiful for months, 

 providing more cut flowers than any other plants 

 occupying the same space. Try Landreths' Asters 

 this year and see how unusually fine they are. 

 Good as any offered under more florid descrip- 

 tions. 8 to 20 inches high. Asters are by far 

 the most satisfactory open garden flowering 

 plants during Midsummer and Autumn. 



Branching Asters 



We cannot recommend the Branching too highly. 

 They come into flower a few weeks before Chrys- 

 anthemums and closely resemble small ones. The 

 best Asters for cutting. White, lavender, pink, 

 crimson, purole, mixed colors. 20 inches 10 



Crego's Giants. — Very early and constant bloom- 

 ers, after the style of Queen of Market, but 

 larger flowered.

 The form and habit is quite different from other 

 varieties and resembles so nearly a miniature

 Plants grow about 15 inches high, branching 

 freely and regularly, not upright but horizontally. 

 Flowers medium size, perfectly double and finely 

 imbricated. Plants very often have over 80 

 blooms.
