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.

Tall and Medium Tall Varieties 
ALDERMAN VOLKES. A new novelty with large clusters of brilliant 
rosy red flowers literally covering the plant. Height 2 feet. Very 
profuse bloomer. 
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. This is a deep 
rose-pink. Very strong plant that will stand lots of abuse. 
BEECHWOOD CHALLENGER. A free flowering clear crimson-red with 
a bright yellow center. The best red Aster yet offered. Height 3j/ 2 
feet. A real bright red without purple in it. 
BLUE GEM. This is considered the best blue yet introduced. The flow¬ 
ers are double, rich in their deep blue coloring, and borne profusely 
no their 3-foot stems. 
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. 
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. A shade of pink that everybody likes when they see it. 
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. 
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. 
MRS. RAYNOR. An old favorite in a rich rosy red, more a brilliant 
rose than a red. Very dependable. 
STRAWBERRIES & CREAM. An outstanding novelty, which has gained 
rapid favor in Europe. The flowers when first open, appear as a 
deeper pink and these with the softer pink open flowers makes a 
lovely combination of color. Grows 4 feet. Blooms end of September. 
Dwarf Varieties 
SAM BENHAM. An early flowering, semi-double white. Large flowers, 
fine for cutting. One of the best of the entire lot of these late bloom¬ 
ing Daisies. 
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. 
SUNSET. A beautiful sunset-pink. Splendid habit of growth and very 
free flowering. The most delicate shade of pink of all. 
VICTOR. The dwarfest of all dwarfs, and exceedingly pretty. The 
lowers are large and of a beautiful clear lavender-blue. Fine for the 
rock garden or for a border plant.
