Crego’s Giant Comet Asters 
ALSO KNOWN AS ASTERMUMS AND 
MAMMOTH OSTRICH PLUME ASTERS 
These truly grand Asters win enthusiastic admira¬ 
tion from all who see them. They arc a highly 
developed American type of the German Comet, 
Hohenzollem or Mammoth Ostrich Plume 
Asters and are far superior _ to imported 
strains. The flowers are of immense size, 
4 to 5 and often 6 inches across, composed 
of long, wavy, twisted petals, gracefully 
formed into loose, yet densely double, 
half-globes, equalling some of the finer 
Ostrich Plume Chrysanthemums. The 
plants, of luxuriant branching growth, 
attain a height of 18 inches to 2 feet, 
each plant bearing from 20 to 30 of 
these magnificent flowers pn very 
long stems, which gives them an 
added value for cutting and vasing.

THE BEDDING ASTERS PAR-EX¬ 
CELLENCE FOR AMERICAN 
CONDITIONS 
These comparatively new Asters — made in Amer¬ 
ica — are midsummer flowering varieties, healthy 
and vigorous in growth, of upright bushy habit and 
very profuse bloomers — veritable bouquets of flowers—and in 
consequence are unrivalled for bedding. The flowers—borne on 
good long, stiff stems — are so very double as to appear almost 
like balL. The petals, short and narrow, are slightly folded 
and of durable lasting substance. While splendid as cut 
flowers, it is as the bedding Asters — par excellence — for our 
American climate and conditions, that the Imperial Asters are 
especially recommended.
