flowers that can be grown and every garden should have these wonderful types.

MAMMOTH BOUQUET ASTERS. 
This distinct new type is now offered for 
the first time and is a cross between the 
Crego type and the branching asters. Some 
complaint has been found in the past with 
the Crego type, that the stems were not 
long enough, also with the lack of size in 
the branching type, but in this we have a 
flower with long, upright, strong stems and 
extra large flowers. The flowers are much 
like the Crego but the stems are like the 
branching asters. Only three colors have 
as yet been produced, which we offer as 
follows: Light Blue, Dark Blue, White and 
Mixed, Each, Pkt., 20c. 
Giant Crego Asters— (See cut). 
The most popular class. Immense fluffy 
flowers averaging 4 to 6 inches in diameter. 
Vigorous plants producing abundance of 
these large flowers on good stems. Offered 
in separate shades as follows: Crego Shell 
Pink, Crego Rose Pink, Crego White, Crego 
Purple, Crego Lavender and Crego Mixed. 
Each, Pkt . 10c 
King Asters —A distinct type: very double 
blooms composed of long, almost straight 
petals, tightly rolled or quilled. Strong, 
sturdy plants and stems. 
We are offering the following varieties or 
colors: Crimson King, Lavender King, Pink 
King, Rose King, Violet King, White King, 
and Mixed King. 
Late Branching Asters—This type is con¬ 
sidered the best for cutting, as the stems arc 
very long and strong, holding the flowers 
upright. They are strong, hardy growers, 
producing blooms 4 to 5 inches across, com¬ 
posed of tightly formed' petals rather in¬ 
curved in form. We offer the following col¬ 
ors: White Branching, Shell Pink Branching, 
Rose Branching, Purple Branching, Crimson 
Branching, Lavender Branching and Mixed 
Branching. Each, Pkt., 10c.

branching type seldom less than 5 inches 
across carried on extra long stems: color 
rich blood crimson and full of fire. Pkt., ISc.

type, especially fine for cutting. Long, strong 
stems carrying flowers averaging 4 inches 
and of a beautiful delicate blush pink.
