Novelties and Specialties for 1912 
ASTERS OF PsECENT INTRODUCTION 
America (Improved Pink Daybreak). — Strong. 
robust grower, producing flowers o( the largest 
size on very strong, stltt stems. In color it is 
somewhat darker than Daybreak, quite resem- 
bling the shade known as old rose. The flowers 
are of great substance and very lasting after 
being cut, more so than most other varieties. A 
valuable feature is its lateness of bloom, being 
fully two weeks later than Daybreak. Its flowers 
are in perfection with the late -branching vari- 
eties. Pkt. 15 cts. 
Blue Bird. — This grand novelty somewhat resem- 
bles Daybreak and Purity in habit of growth, 
size of flower and height. Color a fine shade of 
light blue; flowers reflexed. A fine bedding 
Aster, but is also equally adapted for pot cul- 
ture and one that has enjoyed its just share of 
admiration at our "Trials" this past season. 
Pkt., 15 cts. 
Crego's Giant Comet. — Magnificent fluffy flowers, 
averaging over 5 inches across, with long strong 
stems; the finest of this type. Comes into 
bloom in August, continuing well Into Septem- 
ber, and, unlike most of the Comet sorts, stands 
when cut and is a good flower to ship. 
Crego White. — This is one of the best Date White 
Asters. Pkt., 15 cts. 
Crego Shell Pink. — A beautiful shade of light pink. 
Pkt. 15 cts. 
Crego Rose Pink. — Flower very large and of fine 
form. Pkt. 15 cts. 
Crego Lavender. — A charming colour. Pkt. 15 cts. 
Lavender Daybreak. — The habit of growth is 
similar to that of Daybreak, but the flowers are 
somewhat larger in size, always full to the center 
and of a most beautiful shade of lavender. Pkt. 
15 cts. 
Lemon Drop. — A yellow one at last! It is a yellow, 
decidedly so, and as good a grower as any in 
our now large and varied class of the Daybreak 
type. The flowers are not quite so large as 
those of Daybreak, its parent, but are more per- 
fect and symmetrical in form. In fact, the petals, 
are laid so perfectly that the flowers have a 
wax-like appearance. Pkt. 15 cts. 
Mikado White. — A Comet Aster of great beauty. 
The flowers are pure white ana of immense 
size. The petals are curled and twisted in the 
center of the flower. Pkt. 10 cts. 
Mikado Pink or "Rochester". — The color is an ex- 
quisite shade of lavender pink. The petals are 
narrow, very long and gracefully reflexed. The 
outer petals show to their full extent, while 
gradually toward the center they bend and curl 
across each other in magnificent disorder. This 
is a Comet Aster of strong growth, long stems, 
and fine form. Pkt., 15 cts. 
Peerless. — This grand new Aster may briefly be 
described as a glorified late branching. It has 
the same strong, sturdy habit of growth; comes 
Into bloom a little earlier, bears freely almost 
globular flowers rarely under 4 Inches across and 
frequently over 5 inches. 
Peerless White. Pkt. 15 cts. 
Peerless Light Pink. Pkt. 15 cts. 
Rosy Morn (Rose Daybreak). — This is a very beau- 
tiful variety. The flowers are of a handsome 
shade of rose, large well formed, double to the 
center and produced in the same profusion as 
the other Asters of this class. We consider it 
one of the best of the Daybreak, type. Pkt. 15 
cts. 
Rose Giant (Novelty). — A superb upright growing 
variety, producing its extremely large flowers on 
Peerless Aster. 
very long, stiff stems. The habit of the plant Is 
quite perfect, having but few and in most cases 
no lateral branches, thus throwing the entire 
vigor of the plant into the main stems. The 
flowers are of a beautiful deep rose color. Pkt. 
15 cts. 
Salmon King (Salmon Daybreak). — In this variety 
we have a splendid addition to the Daybreak 
class. The color is not only novel, but of a very 
pleasing shade, bright enough to make it always 
conspicuous, although modest and unassuming 
in appearance. The habit of growth, form of 
plant and flower are identical with those of its 
parent. Daybreak. Pkt. 15 cts . 
The Favorite. — Upon first opening the color is 
blush, deepening with age until the color becomes 
a rich deep pink. The center of the flower is a 
mass of feathery petals, enhancing its beauty to 
a remarkable degree. Height, about 18 inches. 
Mid-season variety. Pkt. 15 cts. 
AGERATUM, Little Blue Star 
Extremely liandsome variety; the tiny bushy 
plants, not exceeding 4 to 5 inches in height, are 
densely covered with clusters of feathery flowers 
of a bright light blue colour: best variety for rib- 
bon or carpet bedding. Pkt., 15c.
