EARLY DAWN. This is one of the 
earliest Asters of the Ostrich Plume 
type, coming into flower even earlier 
than Queen of the Market. As a pure 
white cut-flower, there is nothing to 
surpass it . y oz. 75c. .25 
Earliest White. The earliest white Aster 
in existence. It is doubtless the earli¬ 
est of all extra early varieties. The 
plants grow erect with slender, wiry 
stems, crowned with beautiful feathery 
flowers nearly a week ahead of any 
other variety we have ever seen.

HEART OF FRANCE. The best rich, 
dark-red Aster ever introduced. All

with age and retains its remarkable 
beauty to the very end. y oz. 75c. .25

from Vick’s Branching. By many con¬ 
sidered the very best general purpose 
early Aster ever introduced.

Aster, Giant Branching 
FAMOUS KING ASTERS (Needle 
Type). These Asters form a magnifi¬ 
cent class, distinct from all others in 
the character of the flower, which is of 
great size and substance, and lasts 
longer when cut that those of almost 
any other variety. The petals are long, 
narrow, and folded lengthwise, appear¬ 
ing almost as though quilled, and giv¬ 
ing the flower a graceful and charm¬ 
ing effect. The plants are large and the 
stems exceptionally strong.

high, of branching habit, commencing 
to bloom in early September and last¬ 
ing until destroyed by frost. Flowers

from 18 to 24 inches, making them 
most desirable for cut flowers.

SOLEIL D’OR. Unquestionably the most 
satisfactory yellow yet produced. The 
flowers are large and remarkably full 
and ball shaped with centers deeply 
covered with curled and twisted florets. 
The plants are of branching type and 
very vigorous. It is certainly a winner 
in its class and color. X oz. 75c. 25
