The Purity 
White Aster 
tt 
Helen Condon 
A New Creation In 
The Flower Kingdom 
The photograph of the 
little girl and the Asters 
represents a new creation 
of genuine merit in Asters. 
Two years ago little 
Helen Condon discovered 
one mammoth bloom of 
this beautiful white Aster 
in a large field of Whites 
that we were growing for 
seed. This particular 
plant was so much larger 
and carried such an amaz- 
ing quantity of large 
double and semi-double, 
beautiful clear white flow- 
ers that little Helen who 
was playing about the 
field called our attention 
to it; so we saved the seed 
from this one plant for 
her, and the following 
year every seed was 
planted and to our sur- 
prise and delight pro- 
duced blooms fully equal 
and many superior in size 
and color to the original 
specimen found the year 
before. 
Helen said when we were inspecting the field: "Papa, that Aster 'of mine is much bigger, whiter and 
prettier than any you have in your big fields." 
We were aware of the fact earlier in the season as this particular plot was watched by all the boys, for 
naturally every one of them had an eye out for something real good and new. One old man in the 
gang spoke up and said, "It takes a little girl to find real value in flowers, and to show your apprecia- 
tion, better name it after the little girl who found it growing among a field of big branching whites." One 
of the boys picked a big bunch from the side shoots or branches, which we do not use for seed, and handed 
them to Helen, saying, "Go over to the tool house and we will take your picture with your own Aster and 
then tomorrow you can show your father what you have done in seed-growing."
