I * c. 
White Late in the 12 Best, is a typical American Branching 
Aster, Royals and Queen of the Markets are of the same branch¬ 
ing habit, but September flowering kinds only are generally 
known as the American Branching. 
* Rosalie. Outstanding for its completely double flower type; 
shows no center under any circumstances. Color is a good 
deep rose, and flowering date about Sept. 10 to 15. Typical 
American Branching habit. 
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. 
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. 
Peach Blossom. Delicate rose deepening to bright pink. Up¬ 
right growth. Sept. 10 to 15. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY. A valuable and popular class because 
of late flowering, and large, long-stemmed, slightly 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 Fairy. Trifle darker than Branching Azure; large flow¬ 
ered 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. 
CALIFORNIA GIANTS. An extra large interlaced attractive 
type of flower for cutting, but not so suitable for long shipping. 
Extra long strictly non-lateral stems add to their value. We 
are pleased to add another color to wilt-resistant list of this 
type—the new Rose Marie. Early Giant Light Blue also in this 
class, will be found among the 12 Best. 
Dark Purple. Rich purple and highly resistant. Sept. 25 to 
Oct. 1. Tr. pkt., 35c; Vi oz., 75c; 1 oz., $2.50. 
Early Giant Peach Blossom. Same as Early Giant Light Blue 
featured in 12 best list, but a pleasing light pink. Tr. pkt., 35c; 
% oz., 75c; 1 oz., $2.50. 
* Early Giant Rose Marie. Has the same early flowering habit, 
size and non lateral habit of Early Giant Light Blue sent out last 
season. We find it exceptionally resistant and of a pleasing shade 
of medium rose pink. For further description see novelty list on 
page 2. Tr. pkt., 50c; % oz., $1.25; 1 oz., $4.50.

used for growing plants to sell from flats to home gardeners.

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.

Miscellaneous Resistant Asters 
Aster Giant Harmony Mixture (New). We were pleasantly 
surprised last summer to happen onto a trial of this New 
Anemone Strain, similar in flower type to old favorite Aurora 
Golden Sheaf; it comes in a fairly complete mixture of colors, 
and seemed wilt resistant, altho it is not listed as such. Mid 
Season and fine for shipping because of hard flowers. Tr. pkt., 
50c; % oz., $1.00; 1 oz., $3.50. 
Aurora Golden Sheaf Reselected. (New-Ball.) A new Aurora 
type selection developed by us. Color considerably deeper and 
brighter, and flowers a good deal larger. Throws a few off types. 
Trade packets only. &Qc. 
* Aurora Golden Sheaf. Fully doubled anemone type; center 
cushion petals quilled, outer petals broad and flat. Creamy 
yellow, large, long stemmed, highly resistant, valuable for market. 
Sept. 15 to 20. Tr. pkt., 30c; oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.75. 
*Heart of France. Distinctive scarlet color; approaches Amer¬ 
ican Branching in type. Highly resistant. Sept. 10 to 15. 
Tr. pkt. 30c; ^ oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.75. 
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 
without some shelter from full sun. We space them 8x8 inches 
and use wire and string support.
