portions of all the varieties listed on this page as well as other improved sorts and in my trials has been a 
veritable rainbow of color. Blooms are large; produced on long stiff stems. Excellent either for private or florist 
use and unsurpassed for solid beds. I consider this the finest Aster Mixture in the world. Pkt., 10 cts.; Vs oz ->

American Grown Asters 
Shumway’s Early Beauty 
I have noted with pleasure the steadily increasing popularity of the Beauty type 
Aster as a florists’ flower. The colors are good, and their keeping qualities un¬ 
surpassed. They are excellent shippers and are rapidly superseding American 
Branching for general use. 
Planted at the same time, the Early B eauties flower with the Crego and Ameri¬ 
can Branching types, or, from early July until frost. The. plants are from 2^-3 
feet, with long, stout stems bearing large well formed flowers.

American or Vick’s Late Branching 
From midseason until frost these Asters will produce a profusion of beautiful flowers. The 
blooms are immense, 3% to 4 in. across, and fully double. The petals are incurved and so closely 
massed as to form a solid, globular, Peony-like flower. The plants grow 2 to 3 ft. tall and branch 
freely. The stems, frequently 2 ft. long, make this class especially good for cutting.

The earlier-flowering strain of the American 
Beauty type comes into bloom a little before 
the American Late Branching. Plants are of 
branching habit and very vigorous. They 
grow 2 to 2% ft. tall, spread 2 y 2 ft. wide, 
and bloom profusely. The flowers are globular, 
fully double, with incurved petals, and very 
large, 4 in. or more in diameter. Strong stems 
15 to 20 in. long make them especially desir¬ 
able for cutting. The flowers come in a wide 
range of lovely colors.
