Letherman’s Gorgeous American 
Asters (A. Culture 6) 
Varieties marked (WR) are Wilt-resistant. 
Are all of American origin. These are one of 
our leading specialties, and we have spared neither 
pains nor expense in bringing our strain to the 
highest perfection. The seed has been saved from 
the choicest and most perfect flowers only, and 
may be relied upon for splendid results. No other 
flower combines so much beauty with which more 
brilliant effects can be achieved. From July until 
September this flower reigns supreme in the gar¬ 
den. To have early flowers, sow seed in the house 
from March to May; otherwise sow out of doors 
after danger of frost is over. Asters require well 
pulverized soil.
