LAWRANCE’S FINE ASTERS. 
There is no flower more popular and easily grown than the Aster. They 
are known far and wide and can be found in the smallest and most restricted 
gardens as well as on the spacious grounds of the millionaire. 
LATE BRANCHING ASTERS. 
The Late Branching Aster is the king of all the Aster family. The plants are 
of strong growth, the stems long and stout and the large fluffy flowers are 4 
to 5 inches in diameter and resemble the large Japanese Chrysanthemums. 
They are exceptionally good for cutting and are by far the most satisfactory 
Aster grown. They come into bloom somewhat later than the ordinary varie- 
ties, but can be brought into bloom early by sowing the seed in the house in 
March or April. 
10 cts. per packet. One packet of each of the six varieties, 50 cts. 
White Branching, Purple Branching, 
Pink Branching, Crimson Branching, 
Lavender Branching, Mixed Branching. 
EARLY BRANCHING ASTER. 
The plants of the Early Branching Aster are of the same strong growth 
and constitution as the popular Late Branching but come into bloom ten days 
to two weeks earlier. The branches are few and free of all side growth which 
throws all of the strength of the plant into the development of extra large per- 
fectly formed flowers on long stems, making them exceptionally desirable for 
cutting or exhibition purposes. 
Early White Branching, Early Pink Branching, 
Early Mixed Branching. 
10 cts. per packet. One packet each of the three varietites, 25 cts. 
NEW MIKADO ASTERS. 
A new variety of Aster belonging to the Comet type. The large slfaggy 
flowers are made up of petals that are curled and twisted in such irregular 
form as to give it that fluffy effect so much admired. The plants are unusually 
vigorous, producing a dozen or more long strong stems, each crowded with 
flowers from four to six inches in diameter. In season it is about two weeks 
earlier than the Late Branching variety. 
Mikado Pink “Rochester.” Rich lavender pink. 
Mikado Lavender. A clear light lavender. 
Mikado White. Large pure white. 
10 cts. per packet. One packet each of the three varieties, 25 cts. 
KING ASTERS. 
A magnificent class of Aster differing from all others in the character of 
the flowers. The blooms are of large size and great substance and are made 
up of long narrow petals that are folded lengthwise, giving it a quilled appear- 
ance. The plants are large and the stems are exceptionally long and strong. 
A valuable characteristic of this variety is the great keeping quality of the 
blooms when cut, excelling every other class of Aster in this respect. 
Violet King, Pink King, White King. 
10 cts. per packet. One packet each of the three varietites, 25 cts.
