pretty display in April and May.

Asters are the glory of the garden in August and September, just when good flowers for cutting 
and garden display are wanted in masses. They are greatly different from other summer blooming 
plants in their color effect, for no harsh red or yellow shades are found among them. There is an 
immense number of different types of Asters, in all of which similar colors have been produced. 
From time to time we add such of these newer types as have proved meritorious, discarding older 
Asters which no longer compete with these new developments. 
During the past few years Aster growers have worked toward true wilt-resistant strains, and while 
they cannot yet claim perfection, the results have shown great improvement in this direction. 
GIANT COMET ASTERS 
Elegant flowers resembling the finest Japanese 
Chrysanthemums. As border subjects these As- 
ters make a brilliant display, and are particularly 
valuable as cut flowers for bold decoration in 
large vases. Height 18 inches. 
617. Giant Mixed Per packet 15c 
SUTTON’S SOUTHCOTE 
BEAUTY (SINGLE) 
A popular strain of branching habit which 
may be described as a giant Single Ostrich 
Plume Aster. The flowers have long, perfectly 
formed petals, with comparatively small golden 
yellow centers. They are carried on long, stiff 
stems from 12 to 20 inches in length. White, 
pink, scarlet, mauve, and purple are now saved 
separately, and the mixed seed includes other 
beautiful colors. Sutton’s Southcote Beauty is of 
great value as a border plant, attaining a height 
of 2 to 2% feet, and is probably unrivalled by 
any other Aster for cutting and house decoration.
