ASTERS 
Ferguson's Beauty Asters 
The first of this entirely new type of Aster was 
American Beauty, introduced in 1917. In 1919 
we added Purple Beauty and now we are able 
to ' ofler two other most desirable varieties — 
September Beauty and Lavender Beauty. The 
Beauty Asters are similar in type of flower and growth 
to the well-known Late-Branching Aster, but the large 
flowers are later in blooming and are carried on much 
nger and heavier stems. The plants are robust, 
to'Z feet tall, bearing Immense flowers 4 to 5 inches in 
diameter, gracefuUy carried on strong stems. They 
are invaluable as cut-flowers and fill the season be- 
tween other late Asters and the early Chrysanthe- 
mums. 
One of the most popular hardy annuals grown. The following list comprises 
the best varieties for commercial and private use, our seed 
being grown by expert growers.
