Color Mixtures. The increasing demand for 
Asters as cut-flowers makes it desirable to grow 
them in separate colors. I therefore offer my new¬ 
est and largest sorts, those especially adapted for 
exhibition or commercial purposes, in five groups, 
as follows: 
Price, per pkt., 75 seeds, 5c. 
Exhibition Dark Blue and Purple Asters. A 
mixture including these shades in the Comet, Crego, 
Invincible, Queen of the Market and Semple’s and 
Royal and Upright classes, 7 sorts.

cluding lavender shades in the Comet, Crego, In¬

cluding large-flowering varieties only, in an attrac¬

on the market. I have hundreds of letters com¬ 
mending my Asters, and know that no other general 
mixture will give better satisfaction. Pkt., 75 seeds,

SPLENDID ASTER LIST 
I have a fine lot of Aster seed this year. 
Don't be afraid of my low prices.

ets you get a greater number of varieties 
for a given outlay.

splendid list of varieties.

This is another of my special mixtures, con¬

sive Aster growers, which contains their un¬ 
named novelties, including some of a very dis¬ 
tinct new type. This mixture will therefore be 
a close rival of my Exhibition Prize strain. Pkt.
