ASTERMUM 
The Aster mum Is an 
American type of the Comet 
or Ostrich Plume Asters and 
is the finest of them all. The 
plants grow 2 feet high; they 
differ from all other of their 
type in the larger size and 
greater profusion of their 
flowers, each plant bearing 
from 20 to 30 of these mag¬ 
nificent blossoms, often meas¬ 
uring 6 inches across. These 
loose, airy heads, made up of 
very long, wavy, twisted pet¬ 
als, have a distinct feathery 
effect, resembling the finest 
J apanese Chrysanthe¬ 
mums, and are of rich brilliant 
colors. They are unrivalled 
for table decoration and make 
a brilliant display in the gar¬ 
den. Mixed, Pkt., 75 seeds, 
10c; 1-8 oz., 30c.

ance. The plants are of

NEW SENSATION ASTER 
In the new “Sensation” I believe I have something of unusual merit, a color never before seen in 
Asters, and a flower which is unequalled in quality, size and perfection of bloom. Color is the brightest 
red ever seen In an Aster, being deep ox-Dlood, which fairly glistens with its brightness. Height 
is about 18 inches, plants well branched, and completely covered with very double flowers, which 
are over 4 inches In diameter. Stems are usually a foot long and very stiff, making this wonderful 
Aster exceptionally valuable as a cut flower. Lasts well in water and retains its color longer than 
other varieties. Pkt., 125 seeds, 10c; 1-8 oz., 75c. 
ASTER—Snowball 
A most distinct and handsome variety equally 
valuable for pot culture and cut flowers. It is a 
most profuse bloomer, a single plant often pro¬ 
ducing as many as 25 to 30 pure snow-white 
flowers, globular In form and of extraordinary 
size. 
150 seeds, 5c; 1-f oz., 40c.

The most brilliant Aster ever Introduced 
and the nearest approach to scarlet yet obtained

flowers. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5c; 1-8 oz., 40c.
