CHOICE ASTERS (Miscellaneous) 
25 
AUTUMN GLORY — This is a most welcome addition to our garden 
Asters for it is the latest of all — thus lengthening the Aster season by at 
least two weeks, coming into bloom just after all other late varieties have 
passed their prime. The plant is a large, strong grower, bearing immense 
double pure deep shell-pink flowers of lasting substance on long stems. . . . 
83. ENCHANTRESS PINK— Its vigorous, upright habit of growth, the 
profusion of good, strong, flowering stems, together with the size and 
loose, graceful effect of the branching type of flower makes this variety 
a very desirable acquisition. The beautiful, large, double flowers have 
the delicate shade of the Pink Enchantress Carnation. Unlike many 
other pink Asters, this variety holds its soft delicate color for a long time 
without fading 25 
LAVENDER GEM— One of the most beautiful Asters. It is of true 
Comet type, with large, artistic. loosely-arranged flowers on long, wiry 
stems and of the most charmng shade of lavender imaginable. Begins 
blooming in July, continuing through August; a lovely variety for cutting. 20 
MIKADO PINK or ROCHESTER— A charming shade of pink suffused 
with lavender. A color which shows to great advantage under artificial 
light. A variety of the comet class 25 
86. TRUFFAUT'S PEONY-FLOWERED PERFECTION— Very double, 
large and beautiful flowers, with incurved petals; height, eighteen inches to 
two feet. Mixed 10

88. JAPANESE — Blooms are very large, and the long, curiously-curled 
petals give them a striking resemblance to the Japanese Chrysanthemum. 
Colors are flesh and rose is 
89. DWARF BOUQUET— Mixed. Plants form complete bouquets 8 inches in 
height 10 
90. VICK'S SILVERY ROSE— Here is another robust, long-stemmed, large-flow- 
ering new variety. Every petal is a combination of deep lilac rose, almost 
cerise, very delicately threaded with white. Do not get the impression that 
this is a striped variety. The threads are so tiny as to give the petals a silvery 
sheen. Even the slightest change in light will shade the petals from a rich 
glowing rosy cerise to a silvery rose 40 
90a VICK*S PEERLESS YELLOW— Now we have the pleasure of introducing 
a big yellow Aster with type securely fixed. Every flower will become a 
beautiful chrysanthemum yellow. The flowers are remarkably full and 
ball shaped, with centres so deeply covered with curled and twisted florets 
that the variety is almost a record breaker in scarcity of producing seed. 
The plants are of branching type and very vigorous 40

93. OSTRICH PLUME. MIXED 10 
This magnificent Aster produces flowers of immense size, made up of long, 
loosely formed petals. Blooms in August. When used for cutting, the flowers 
should be picked when about half expanded aud allowed to develop in water in 
a cool room. 
NEW EARLY-FLOWERING ROYAL ASTERS 
This new strain of early-flowering branching Asters will be eagerly welcomed 
as it fills in the season between the earliest "Queen of the Market" and the later 
" Branching." The magnificently-shaped double flowers are very large, with 
broad petals, slightly incurving; they are borne abundantly and always on extra 
long strong stems. The plants average 2 feet in height, branching freely. The 
plants are in bloom for a long time and produce fine flowers until the later varieties 
come in.
