Aster, Fire King. 
The most brilliant Aster ever 
introduced. 
And the nearest ap¬ 
proach to scarlet yet ob¬ 
tained ; a color previously 
unknown in this popular 
flower, which, for an 
autumn show of flowers, 
few others equal. Habit 
very compact, not more 
than 12 inches in height, 
with large, beautifully in¬ 
curved flowers, and makes 
a charming companion to 
“Snowball.” 
Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 
Aster, Snowball. 
A mos' distinct and handsome 
variety, equally valuable 
for pot culture and 
cut flowers 
It is a most profuse 
bloomer, a single plant 
often producing as many 
as twenty-five to thirty 
pure snow white flowers, 
globular in form and of 
extraordinary size. 
Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 
In preparing your Aster 
beds, work a few shovels 
full of hard wood ashes 
up in the soil; it is a 
splendid fertilizer and 
helps destroy the insects 
at the roots, which so 
often spoil a fine bed of 
Asters. Don't plant 
Asters in the same beds 
two or three years 
straight running; change 
the position.
