Aster “New 
346 Aster “Autumn Glory” 
Color, pure shell pink and similar to Semples pink, except 
that it has a better and more substantial flower. The plant 
itself is larger and stronger than the Semples variety. Autumn 
Glory will bloom after other late Asters and before the early 
Chrysanthemums are ready. The flowers hold their shape and 
color for a remarkably long time, making it a most desirable 
sort for general cultivation, flowering as it does at a time when 
good flowers are extremely scarce. 20 cts. Pkt.; 2 Pkts. 35 cts. 
Aster “Vick’s Perfection” 
This is a great improvement on the mid-season varieties, 
flowers are exquisite in form and the plants are taller than those 
of the late upright branching. Average diameter of the blossom 
fully four inches. Plants are extremely vigorous with unusually 
broad dark green leaves and stout stems. They carry about 
twelve large double flowers on long stems free from side 
branches. When they are in full bloom the flower is strongly 
whorled with the outer row of petals straight; producing a 
charming effect, which is quite distinct from any other Upright 
Asters.

Aster “New Rochester” 
The new varieties of this type are more double and more 
Chrysanthemum-like than those of the original Lavender Pink 
Rochester. The long narrow petals fall over one another in a 
charming cascade of color, forming a wonderful shaggy mass 
that cannot be equalled for richness of effect.
