Buckbee’s New American 
Beauty Asters 
Of the many Asters that are now grown, 
the American Beauty class continues a favorite 
everywhere. In the past few years this flower 
has been continually improved until it is now 
fully four to five inches in diameter. A great 
point in its favor is that it comes into its best 
bloom rather late—at a time when most other 
flowers are gone—and continues to blossom 
until frosts kill the plant to the ground. All 
four colors offered below come true from seed 
and are of fine form and size.
