Waterer’s Superb Asters 
HA, HP 
There are few flowers that make a better show in the fall than the 
Asters. They are, perhaps, the most popular annual flower grown, 
and justly so on account of their ease of culture, season of bloom, 
and lasting qualities, both in the garden and as a cut-flower. To be 
able to cut Asters abundantly and over the longest possible period, 
you should make several sowings of the early, midseason, and late- 
flowering types. In the following list you will find not only the 
standard varieties of merit, but many of the newer sorts which we 
know are sure to please. 
The varieties marked WR are Wilt-Resistant and are highly immune 
to the fusarium wilt disease 
Early-flowering Asters HA 
QUEEN OF THE MARKET. WR. These well-known, early- 
flowering Asters are of a branching habit, about 1/4 feet high, and 
come into bloom directly after the Extra-Early Express. The 
perfect flowers are borne on long stems and in great variety of 
colors, making them extremely useful for cutting.
