with a light touch of yellow on the upper lip. Its exquisite coloring is 
even more vivid under artificial lighting. Immense flower-heads, 18 to 
24 inches long, carry 75 and over, closely set, large, wide-open florets 
which measure over 2 inches, making the spike truly a giant. Its stems

Michell’s Superb Asters 
We wish to emphasize the fact that our Asters are grown for us 
by specialists, and nearly all varieties under our own supervision. 
Michell’s “Distinctive” Quality is nowhere more prominent than 
with our Asters, and we can recommend them with the utmost confi¬ 
dence. Our seed is selected from plants which are free from disease. 
SPECIAL NOTE.— In growing Asters, old soil and flats should 
never be used the second time without thoroughly sterilizing, to avoid 
the numerous diseases to which Asters are so susceptible. Barnyard 
manure should never be employed as a fertilizer. We recommend 
the use of finely ground bonemeal. A.sters should not be grown in 
the same location two years in succession. 
Fu sarium-Wilt Resistant Strains 
These we believe to be practically immune to this disease. We feel 
sure that by using this seed many disappointments due to crop failures 
will be eliminated.

EARLY GiANTy ROSE MARIE, For description see 
Novelties, page 3..$0 50 
Oz. 
$3 50 
CREGO, ENCHANTRESS. Novelty. An entirely new 
shade in Asters—a lovely salmon-rose—one of the 
brightest colors yet developed. The flowers are excep¬ 
tionally large, of good substance, and the plants branch¬ 
ing and free flowering, blooming in early September. . . . 
EARLY GIANT, LIGHT BLUE. All-America Winner of 
Silver Medal. Flowers similar to Giants of Galifornia 
—very large and full, with broad, graceful petals, daintily 
plumed and intertwined. Plants differ from the Giants of 
California as they are only 1^ to 2 feet high, with 
branches coming from low on the central spike. Early 
blooming, coming into flower the first week in September. 
EARLY GIANT, PEACH BLOSSOM. Very attractive, 
large, full-petaled flowers of a delightful shade of light 
pink turning to lavender-pink when fully matured. 
GIANT COMET, ILLUSION. Novelty. Another new 
color in the wilt-resistant Asters. Illusion is a soft 
pastel shade of apricot-pink, especially fine for cutting 
and most effective when used in combination with some 
blue flower. Plants are of upright growth, about 2 feet 
tall, and free-flowering. Will bloom the latter part of Aug. 
GOLDEN SHEAF. The deepest yellow Aster yet intro¬ 
duced. Fully double, with an attractive crest-like center, of 
good substance; long-stemmed and excellent shippers.. . 
GIANT COMET, SALMON QUEEN. Clear, pure salmon, 
blending to a rich golden salmon at center. The large, 
well-formed flowers are of the feathery Comet type on 
long-stemmed, earl.y-flowering, upright plants. 
GIANT COMET, BLUE FLAME. Bright navy-blue flow¬ 
ers, distinct from any other blue Aster now offered, fully 
double, with long stems. Fine for cutting.
