Aster, Violet King. 



KING ASTERS. In Size the peer of the grandest chrysanthemums, 

 of branching habit with vigorous growth, stems long and stiff. In form 

 the flower is distinct from any other variety, petals longer and broader, 

 while the centre is curled and Incurved, completely covei-ing the 

 crown. The well branched plants grow 2 feet high.

Aster, Royal Purple. 



Aster, New Mikado. 



1105 ROYAIi PURPLiE. A new medium early variety of the 

 Branching type, but different from the Branching sorts in that the 

 stems start growing directly from the parent stems close to the ground 

 and not on side shoots from the main one. Flowers are large, of a 

 bright purple color, petals flat and incurved. Entirely distinct. Fine 

 for cutting. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 60 cents; ounce, $3.00. 



NEW MIKADO. A beautiful new class of Comet type, producing 

 well-branched, long, strong stems. Plant grows about 18 inches high. 

 Flowers are very large and full, Chrysanthemum-like, with long, nar- 

 row, gracefully reflexed petals. Coming into bloom between the earli- 

 est blooming and the branching sorts, enables one to have flowers of 

 the Comet type from early summer until frost. Valuable florist variety, 

 also the handsomest large flowering aster for cut flowers.

nil Rose. A delicate shade. Packet, 10 cents.

 late flowers, blooming just before the chrysanthemums. The tendency 

 to form numerous branches gives the class its name. The flowers are 

 4 inches in diameter, borne on long stems and are rich and showy. 

 Petals both long and broad, and more or less twisted and curled.

of recent introduction. It has all the good qualities of Sem ple's Giant 

 Branching type, with extra large, densely double flowers, few under 5 

 inches across, on stems 15 to 18 inches long; in color a very rich blood- 

 crimson, making a brilliant bed or border plant, and very desirable for 

 cut flowers. Packet, 10 cents; 14 ounce, $1.00; ounce, $3.50. 



1117 liAVENDER 

 GEM. A true Giant 

 Comet type, with large, 

 loosely arranged flowers 

 of a most charming lav- 

 ender, on long, wiry 

 stems. Flowers always 

 full and double; greatly 

 admired by everybody 

 for the fact that it bears 

 a large proportion of 

 long, partly tubular 

 florets that are irregu- 

 larly cut and slashed, 

 so that the flowei's look 

 like a ragged chrysan- 

 themum. The coloring 

 is an exquisite silvery 

 white when first open- 

 ing, changing to the 

 most delicate shade of 

 lavender when fully ex- 

 panded. The plant is 

 erect and of medium Aster, Lavender Gem.
