FALL BLOOMING ASTERS 
Plant these brilliant fall-blooming hardy Asters and prolong your blooming season a full month. Have your garden a place of dazzling splendor 
when all about is brown and sere. They will bring a world of color during late September, all of October, and on into November until heavy 
freezing kills the flowers. These plants stand our Minnesota winters unprotected. 
These late-blooming Asters should be in every garden as they give a mass of color after all other flowers are gone except the hardy outdoor 
Chrysanthemums. 
There has been a wonderful improvement in these fall Asters of late years just as with many other flowers. As new varieties come that are better 
than the older sorts, we test them out and offer our customers a constantly improving assortment. We want everyone who does not have them 
to try out one or more kinds. 
Fall and Medium Tall Varieties 
Dwarf Varieties 
ALDERMAN VOLKES. A new novelty with large clusters of brilliant 
rosy red flowers literally covering the plant. Height 2 feet. 
Each, 35c; 3 for $1.00 
NANCY. Another dwarf, bushy, very free-flowering variety. The pale 
pink flowers literally cover the little 12-inch plants in late September. 
A fine border plant. Each, 25c; 3 for 65c 
BARR'S PINK. One of the largest and finest of pink Asters. The plant 
at maturity reaches a height of about 4 feet. Fine used as a back¬ 
ground for lower growing perennials. A real gem. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 65c 
BEECHWOOD CHALLENGER. A free flowering clear crimson-red with 
a bright yellow center. The best red Aster yet offered. Height V /2 
feet. Each, 50c; 3 for $1.00 
BLUE GEM. This is considered the best blue yet introduced. The flow¬ 
ers are double, rich in their deep blue coloring, and borne profusely 
on their 3-foot stems. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 65c 
CLIMAX. One of the best and we believe the largest of all the light 
blue varieties. The rich blue flowers are as large as a half dollar and 
a single plant often carries 500 blossoms. Height 5 feet. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 65c 
DAZZLER. A semi-double, brilliant rose-red. A new color shade in 
hardy fall Asters. Medium tall, freely branched. 
Each, 50c; 3 for $1.00 
HARRINGTON'S PINK. For color this is surely the finest of all pink 
Asters. We were one of the firms to whom the originator sent plants 
for testing. Up to that time Barr’s Pink was the best we had ever seen, 
but Harrington’s Pink is a brighter and purer pink. Height 3 feet. 
Each, 50c; 3 for $1.25 
MAMMOTH. A lovely shade of lavender. The largest flowers of any 
of the fall Asters. Semi-double with many long side sprays. Exceed¬ 
ingly fine for cutting. Each, 50c; 3 for $1.25 
MAUVE CUSHION. An entirely distinct species from Japan. Forms a 
circular cushion-like plant often 2 feet across and not over 9 inches 
high. The flowers, which are a delicate soft mauve, measure 1*4 
inches across and are produced in such profusion as to completely 
cover the plant. Excellent to use as a border plant. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 65c 
MOUNT EVEREST. By far the finest and best white. Florets are as large 
as Climax and this is a fitting companion for that wonderful blue. An 
abundant bloomer. Height 3 to 4 feet. Each, 35c; 3 for $1.00 
MRS. RAYNOR. Another new red Aster that many claim as the best. 
You will like both Mrs. Raynor and Beechwood Challenger. Height 
3 to 4 feet. Each, 35c; 3 for $1.00 
SUNSET. A beautiful sunset-pink. Splendid habit of growth and very 
free flowering. One of the best new pinks. About 36 inches. 
Each, 50c; 3 for $1.25 
ST. EGWIN. A dwarf pink seldom growing over 18 inches. The plant 
forms a perfect dome covered with hundreds of bright pink blossoms. 
Often a single stem can be cut with over 500 blossoms. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 65c 
VICTOR. The dwarfest of all dwarfs, and exceedingly pretty. The 
flowers are large and of a beautiful clear lavender-blue. Fine for the 
rock garden or for a border plant. 
Each, 25c; 3 for 65c 
WHITE LADY. A very fine pure white. Splendid plant habit, profuse 
bloomer, and a fine cut flower. Each, 25c; 3 for 65c
