LATE-BLOOMING ASTERS 
S. & W. Co.’s Branching 
This exceptionally fine Aster is without a rival. It is as well known 
in Europe as in America, and although we placed it 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 re¬ 
sembles. The flowers are of extraordinary size—much larger than 
other varieties—and stand erect on long, graceful stems, well above 
the foliage; flower-stems 15 to 20 inches long. Grand for cutting.

Beauty 
This is a recently developed late-flowering strain, coming into 
bloom late in September and being at its best through October. 
The plants grow nearly 3 feet high and bear their very large, densely 
covered flowers on long, strong stems. A very desirable addition to 
the Aster family on account of their late-blooming character and 
excellence for cutting. We offer five distinct colors.

WILT-RESISTANT ASTERS 
In some localities success with Asters has been rendered doubtful 
through attacks of the fusarium wilt, but we now offer a wide range 
of colors and types of Asters that are almost immune. If wilt has 
attacked your Asters in previous seasons, sow the following: 
WR Aurora, Golden Sheaf. The deepest yellow Aster yet 
---- offered, and the only yellow 
we list that has been bred to resist the fusarium disease. Flowers 
are perfectly double, with a full, crest-like center, of good substance 
and fine depth of floret. Trade Pkt. 35 cts., Vioz. $1, oz. $3. 
WR Imperial Red. A wonderful new giant single Aster, with 
---- curled and interlaced outer florets, so 
bright in color that they instantly catch the eye. Their intense 
brilliant red is emphasized by the bright yellow center. Growing 
18 inches high, each plant produces many flowers on good, long 
stems, hence it is valuable as a cut-flower. Trade Pkt. 25 cts., 
Vioz. 75 cts., oz. $2.50. 
WR Blue Flame. Bright navy-blue, distinct from any other 
——---- dark blue or purple Aster now offered.

blooming sort. Trade Pkt. 25 cts., Vi° z - 60 cts., oz. $ 2 .
