The Purity White Aster 
Wonderful Creation in the Flowering Kingdom 
IMost beautiful White Aster ever introduced. Named after llie 
originator, "Helen Oondon," the girl in the picture, who found it 
five years ago in a Held of Giant Flowered Seedlings. The above pho- 
tograph tells the true story. When <this Mammoth White Aster was 
discovered five years ago we thousht it impossible to improve on 
it. but we must acknowledge we were wrong: as the size today as 
, well as color is beyond description. It is simply gorgeous, flowers 
^often measuring- belter than six inches across. All double and semi- 
double, borne on long, upright, blanching stems, making it 
truly a prize sort for massing in beds, bouquets or cut flower 
PMrpose.s. The girl in the picture is onlv thirteen years old 
and she does most of the work taking care of this grand 
Aster, which is named after her — "Helen Condon, Purity 
White." Just stop and consider what can, be done if one only 
tries a little. All lovers of flowers should siirelv try this 
grand Aster. Pkt., IS <-1n.; % ox., «0 cts.; % ox., $l'.10i % oi..

pletely ladened 
with abun 
dance of bios

and, to patients 
at the hospital, 
who would not 
otherwise be 
remembered.
