The Latest of All Asters 
AUTUMN 
GLORY 
This is a most welcome addi¬ 
tion to our garden Asters for 
it is the latest of all — thus 
lengthening the Aster season by 
at least two weeks, coming into 
bloom just after all other late varie¬ 
ties have passed their prime. The 
plant is a large, strong grower, bearing 
immense double pure deep shell-pink 
flowers of unusual and lasting substance on 
strong, long stems, unsurpassed by any Aster 
grown for cut flowers, both for commercial 
purposes and for home decoration. . . . Pkt. 25c.
