Lavender Gem. One of the most 
beautiful Asters 
which ever came under our notice. It is of 
true Comet type, with large, artistic, loosely 
arranged flowers, and as the plant is of 
branching habit, they are on long, wiry 
stems, while the color is the most charming 
shade of lavender imaginable. A gem in¬ 
deed, either for cutting or bedding.

Aster Branching, Mary Semple, as offered above, Cc. 
(Semple’s Branching.) 
These American Asters thrive better in our climate 
than any of the imported sorts. The plants make 
, strong branching bushes 2 to 2% feet high, bearing on 
dong, strong stems, often 20 inches long, their hand¬ 
some Chrysanthemum-like flowers, which average over 
5 inches across. For vases and cut flowers for the house, 
they are magnificent. By far the most satisfactory 
Aster grown. Bloom August and September.
