ASTERS 
QUEEN OF THE ANNUALS 
In recent years we have paid particular attention tc 
American grown Asters, for Uiey have greatly in¬ 
creased the popularity of this flower. We know of no 
other flower so easily raised from seed, which combines 
so much beauty with grace and usefulness and is 
more satisfactory than Asters. They make a brilliant 
effect when grown in masses and furnish a constant 
supply of cut flowers. Every garden, large or small, 
should contain Asters. 
Culture—Sow either in the open ground in May or 
in March or April in cold frame, spent hot-beds or pots 
or boxes in the house, covering the seed with about 
%-inch of good rich soil; when the plants are strong 
enough, transplant about 18 inches apart in deeply- 
dug, well-prepared beds. 
665—ASTER WILT RESISTANT BLUE 
FLAME (Bodger) 
In line with the trend of the times, we present 
Blue Flame, one of our contributions to the code for 
better flowers. The color is bright navy blue, distinct 
from any other dark blue or purple aster now offered, 
of the Giant Branching Crego class, with large Crego 
type flowers, fully double, on branching plants, suitable 
for cutting or garden use. Pkt. 15c. 
ASTER 
667—Super Giant El Monte—The only really large 
flowered crimson Aster. Deep glowing crimson, com- 
posd of abundant quantities of daintily interlaced 
plume-like petals, the flowers are extremely large and 
fluffy, borne on heavy non-lateral, basal branched 
stems. It is very early blooming, coming in before 
the California Giant varieties, and remaining in 
flower over a long period. Although not wilt resistant, 
we highly recommend El Monte to you. Per pkt. 15c. 
669—ASTER WILT RESISTANT GOLDEN 
SHEAF (Bodger) 
We take pleasure in introducing Golden Sheaf, the 
deepest yellow aster yet offered, and the only one that 
is wilt resistant. The flowers are fully double, with 
an attractive crest-like center, of good substance and 
fine depth of petal. Per pkt. 15c. 
673—ASTER SUPER GIANT LOS 
ANGELES 
Aster Los Angeles is the first variety of this giant 
race, and how beautifully it upholds the romantic 
traditions of its namesake, the glamorous city of 
sunshine and flowers. The color is a serenely pure 
shell pink, in flowers which are full petaled, deep, 
and unusually large, yet artistically graceful in the 
feathery effect of the interlacing petals. Pkt. 15c. 
676—ASTER WILT RESISTANT GIANT 
SALMON QUEEN (Bodger) 
Few people realize that there is an aster of the 
fascinating shade of salmon found in Salmon Queen. 
It is a clear, pure salmon pink, blending to a rich 
gold salmon at the center. The flowers, large and 
well formed, are of the feathery Comet type, on long 
stemmed early flowering upright plants. Pkt. 15c. 
GIANT CREGO 
ASTERS 
The Crego is one of the 
largest of all Asters, the 
petals being exceedingly long

real treat awaits anyone who 
plants this variety.
