Aster, Early Giant, Light Blue 
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. 
Micheli’s ‘‘Distinctive’’ Quality is nowhere more prominent than 
with our Asters. 
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. Asters should not be grown in 
the same location two years in succession. 
Fusarium-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.

Silver Medal. Flowers similar to Giants of California 
—very large and full, with broad, graceful petals, daintily

California as they are only 144 to 2 feet high, with

blooming, coming into flower the first week in September. 40

pink turning to Iavender-pink when fully matured..... 40 
GIANT COMET, ILLUSION. 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 flowers. Plants 
are of upright growth, about 2 feet tall, and free-flowering.
