Giant Branching Asters 
Also Known as American 9 Semple’s, and 
Vick’s Branching 
From midseason until frost these Asters will produce a profusion of 
beautiful flowers. The blooms are very large, 3ft to 4 in. across, and 
fully double. The petals are incurved and so closely massed as to form 
a very attractive, globular flower. The plants grow 2 to 3 ft. tall and 
branch freely. The stems, frequently 2 ft. long, make this class especially 
good for cutting. Nothing could be more dazzling than a blaze of color 
such as these giant flowers will give. Plant them liberally this year.
