‘^FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORISTS’’ 
RESISTANT ASTERS—Continued 
All Varieties Mixed. This is a mixture of all the above, not in¬ 
cluding the 12 Best Rot-Resistant varieties. Largely used for 
growing plants to sell from flats to home gardeners. This resistant 
mixture should be used because of reduced loss in young plants 
from rotting. 
Tr. pkt., 20c; % oz., 30c; 1 oz., $1.00; 1 lb., $12.00; 4 ozs., at lb. 
rate. 
SINGLE VARIETIES (Ball). In addition to the Single South- 
cote Beauty type, that is not resistant to rot, we offer a number 
of colors and mixture of a strong growing, single branching type. 
This strain has been developed by us and will be found excep¬ 
tionally rot resistant. The flowers are freely produced, extra 
long-stemmed, and attractive for any cut flower work. Mid-Sept. 
Deep Rose. Strong deep rose-pink; excellent. 
Deep Salmon-Rose. As named; strong bright color. 
Light Blue. Medium shade of blue. 
While. Clear white; extra free growth. 
Mixed. The four colors mixed. 
Prices on Single Asters: Tr. pkt., 30c; ^4 oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.75. 
VARIOUS RESISTANT ASTERS

cushion petals quilled, outer petals broad and flat. Creamy yel¬ 
low, long stemmed and large. Highly resistant and valuable for 
market. Sept. 15 to 20. 
Tr. pkt., 30c; % oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.75. 
Heart of France. Distinctive scarlet color; approaches American 
Branching in type. Highly resistant. Sept. 10 to 15. 
Tr. pkt., 30c; % oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.75. 
Imbricated Pompon Violet. The first Pompon we have in 
fairly resistant form; an attractive color for cutting. 
Tr. pkts. only, 50c. 
“Golden Sheaf” supplies the demand for a yellow Aster. We 
find it highly resistant. 
REGULAR AMERICAN ASTERS 
Not Rot-Resistant 
We are very certain that the rot-resistant strains are well worth 
their slightly added cost. For this reason we no longer offer regular 
varieties that are available in resistant form. 
Imbricated Pompons. Becoming increasingly popular for cut- 
flower use. Favorable growing conditions, including clean soil, 
are necessary for this class. Will not draw up long-stemmed with¬ 
out some shelter from full sun. We space them 8x8 inches and 
use wire and string support. We offer only the nicely 
rounded 
Pompon type in the following colors:
