Unequaled for Perfection of Flowers and Vigor of Plants 
Just when summer is beginning to merge into autumn and the floral bloom in the garden is diminishing, along comes the 
queenly Annual China Aster to make up the deficiency and renew the attractiveness of the garden. 
WILT-RESISTANT ASTER SEED—Through the use of wilt-resistant seed, success may be had where the soil is infected with 
wilt fungus, where it has been impossible to grow perfect flowering plants. It is not claimed, however, to be free from Aster 
"yellows" and other Aster diseases or insect pests.

A superior race in every way. The plants are wilt resistant of

ing, on long stems, massive Chrysanthemum-like flowers of perfect 
form, exceedingly double to the very center. The petals are thick, 
durable, and the flowers last long in perfection. They are continu- 
ous bloomers from summer until frost. When grown in masses in 
garden borders, or grouped in beds, their effect is gay and enliven- 
ing. When well grown the flowers average 3¥2 inches across; 
4inch flowers are quite common and if grown for cut flowers, the 
side branches pruned, allowing a plant to carry not over 8 flowers, 
one flower to a stem, they may measure up to 5 inches across.

These truly grand Asters win enthusiastic admiration from all 
who see them. They are a highly developed American type and 
are far superior to imported strains. The flowers are of immense 
size, 4 to 5 and often 6 inches across, composed of long, wavy, 
twisted petals, gracefully formed into loose, yet densely double, 
half globes, equaling some of the finer Ostrich Plume Chrysanthe- 
mums. The plants, of luxuriant branching growth, attain a height 
of 18 inches to 2 feet, each: plant bearing from 20 to 30 of these 
magnificent flowers on very long stems, which gives them an added 
value for cutting and vasing.
