NEW EARLY BRANCHING ASTERS. 
A distinct advance in the class of Branching Asters, attaining the 
size and vigor of the late blooming Branching Aster, but coming into bloom 
about two weeks earlier; the branches are fewer and free from side buds 
which forces the whole strength of the plants into the few very large and 
perfect flowers on extra long stems. We have only two colors to offer in 
this class. 
Early Branching White, 10 cts. per pkt. 
Early Branching Rose, 10 cts. per pkt. 
Daybreak. A very fine variety growing about 18 inches tall, and producing 
an abundance of large, very doubl e and perfectly formed flowers of a. 
delicate sea shell pink, an early and continuous bloomer and excel- 
lent for cutting purposes. Pkt. 10 cts. 
Purity. A fit companion to the above, to which it is identical in every re- 
spect, except in color which is pure white. Pkt. 10 cts. 
Vick’s Cardinal. A new and entirely uistinct variety. For brilliancy of col- 
or and profusion of bloom this Aster is in a class by itself. The flowers 
are large and full, free from yellow centers and borne on graceful stems 
of average length. In color, which is a brilliant cardinal, there is no 
other variety with which to compare it. It blooms from early August 
■ until late in the fall. Pkt. 10 cts. 
Carlson’s Lavender. A strong healthy variety, producing large long stem- 
med flowers in abundance. We consider this the best of all lavender 
varieties yet introduced. Pkt. 10 cts. 
Violet King. The habit of this grand variety is very similar to the Branch- 
ing variety, being vigorous in growth, with long stiff stems and luxuri- 
ant foliage of the richest green. In form the flower is distinct from 
other varieties; the petals are quilled, those in the center being 
twisted, curled and incurved, completely covering the center. The flow- 
ers are large and full and frequently measure 4 to 5 inches in diam- 
eter. The color is a rich violet. Pkt. 10 cts.
