Templin-Bradley’s Glorious Asters 

American Branching Asters 
Asters should have a place in your garden if you like plenty of flowers from 
July right on to frost. Their colors will suit your taste whether it be for 
white, delicate blues, pinks, salmons, yellows or the brilliant reds, deep 
purples and crimsons. Even a small bed of Asters will provide you with cut- 
flowers which will stand up in the home in hot weather. They are in such 
demand that customers in all parts of the country find ready sale for cut- 
flowers on the regular flower markets, on wayside stands and among neigh- 
bors. The intensive work in breeding which has been carried on by our 
specialist has resulted in improving the length of stems, the size of flowers 
and in fixing colors.

resistant to Fusarian Wilt. All such are noted under the family name.
