of the Annual Garden 
Royal (Wilt Resistant) 
This is considered by many to be the very best general 
purpose Aster ever introduced. It is very much like our 
American Branching variety, having all its good qualities, 
but coming into bloom in July or early August and last¬ 
ing in perfect condition for a long time. The habit of the 
plants and their free flowering make them very desirable 
for beds or borders, and the long stemmed flowers are 
ideal for cutting.
