New Aster—HEART OF FRANCE 
1306 The best pure red Aster ever introduced. Heart of France 
opens red as the purest ruby, deepens with age and retains 
its remarkable beauty to the very end. The flowers are 
large and full, with never a trace of hollow center. The 
plants are of branching type and very robust habit. The 
stems are long and strong and have very few laterals. 
The plants begin to bloom quite early in the season and 
open fully with the mid-season varieties. They retain 
their brilliancy and luster for a longer period than almost 
any other color . Pkt. 25 c.

NEW ROYAL ASTERS 
A beautiful class and the best of the early Mid-Season Asters. 
A little later than the “Queen of the Earlies,” but superior to 
the latter. The plants are of branching habit, about 2 feet 
high; the flowers being larger, very double, and the stems are 
longer, stinger and more upright in growth. The petals are 
broad and incurved, or shell-shaped, giving the flower a charming 
and distinctive effect. They are vigorous and sturdy growers, 
branching from the base of the plants. Although early—Mid- 
Season Asters—-they remain in flower a long time; the flowers 
being of splendid substance; splendid cut flower type.
