LATE-BLOOMING ASTERS 
S. & W. Co.’s Late Branching 
Although we placed this variety on the market only a few years 
ago, today every florist has a fine stock of the flowers in his window 
just before the chrysanthemum comes in, and it is often mistaken for 
the chrysanthemum, which it so much resembles. The flowers are of 
extraordinary size—larger than most other varieties—and stand 
erect on long, graceful stems, well above the foliage; flower-stems 15 
to 20 inches long. Grand for cutting. Plants large, of strong growth.
