Our 1932 Cloth House crop of Asters. Don't let their oppearance lead you to believe no improvement in Asters has been made since, for there 
has. Note spacing of posts. Today we space them closer, use more cross wires, and sew cloth to all wires. This means much less loss by 
high winds.

Crego, White. Pure white; fine. Sept. 5 to 10. 
Ostrich Feather, Peach Blossom. Delicate rose deepening to bright 
pink. Excellent market variety. Sept. 10 to 15. 
UPRIGHT BRANCHING. This class is distinctive for long¬ 
stemmed upright habit instead of spreading or branching as do 
most of the other classes—permitting closer spacing. Also, in 
cutting, the entire plant can be cut at once. Not quite so long or 
stiff stemmed as the Branching class, but there are a few very 
excellent colors in this group that should be more largely used. 
Peachblossom. Typical upright close habit, opening delicate rose 
deepening to rich lavender-rose-pink. Sept. 10 to 15. 
Purple. Rich deep purple. Sept. 10 to 15. 
White. Quite large-flowered and good. Sept. 10 to 15. 
AMERICAN BRANCHING. A term generally used to cover a 
number of midseason classes or strains of various producers. All 
are of spreading or branching habit, and for best results the 
individual branches should be disbudded. The varieties Ball 
White Late and Ball White Early, among the 12 Best, are typical 
American Branching Asters. Royals and Queen of the Markets 
are of the same branching habit, but September flowering kinds 
only are generally known as the American Branching. In addi¬ 
tion to the two Ball Whites, the following are typical of this 
type: 
Deep Rose. Long-stemmed large-flowered deep rose; excellent for 
market. Sept. 15 to 20. 
Purple. Rich purple, fine stem and highly resistant. Sept. 10 to 15. 
Semple Pink (Ball). Choice shell-pink. Sept. 10 to 15. 
White. True branching type; excellent for cutting. Sept. 10 to 15. 
KING. Attractively pointed or quilled petals give this class real 
distinction. Flowers are harder than most classes or types, and 
for this reason they do not spot or bruise so easily. The Kings 
are largely used for shipping from California to Eastern markets. 
Crimson. Bright crimson, strictly upright habit. Sept. 10 to 15. 
Peachblossom. Delicate rose deepening to bright pink. Upright 
growth. Sept. 10 to 15.

AMERICAN BEAUTY. A valuable and popular class because of 
late flowering, and large, long-stemmed, attractively incurved 
flowers. For northern locations the flowering dates should be 
noted to escape early frosts. However, most Beauties are gen¬ 
erally satisfactory, even in our Northern border states. 
Azure Foiry. Trifle darker than Branching Azure; large flowered 
and excellent for cutting. Sept. 20 to 25. 
Crimson. Long-stemmed, good crimson color. Sept. 15 to 20. 
Deep Rose. Finest rich deep rose. Sept. 15 to 20. 
Purple. Long-stemmed large purple. Sept. 15 to 20. 
Purple Prince. Bright marine purple. An excellent variety. Sept. 
15 to 20. 
Shell-Pink (September Beauty). Delicate pink, trifle lighter than 
Semple. Fair size, long stem. Sept. 25 to Oct. 1. 
White. Long-stemmed excellent white. Sept. 20 to 25.
