The “Semple" Asteb. 
Semple ^ster. 
This new Aster contains many new 
and distinct points of merit, above 
and entirely different from any other 
Asters. The flowers are immense— 
often 4 inches across, the petals are 
curiously curved and twisted like a 
beautiful Japanese' Chrysanthemum. 
The colors are superb. Soft, deep rosy- 
pink, iirey lake, crimson, snow- 
wliite and pink. Flower stems often 
12 inches long, which makes it fine for 
cutting. The plant grows 2 feet high 
and needs plenty of room, as it throws 
up innumerable flower stems. Blooms 
during August and September, after 
most Asters are gone, which makes it 
very valuable for exhibitions and fairs. 
Pkt. (40 seeds) 8c., 2 for 15c., -%-oz. 20c.
