Harris Eight Beat 
1500—8-BEST ASTERS, Mixed Colors. There are no better asters for your garden than these 
eight. They are all good for cutting and all are vigorous, branching plants. There are three different 
types and seasons of flowers in the following range of colors: white, shell-pink, deep rose, red, azure, 
lavender-pink, purple, and bright pink, all mixed together in the proper amounts for the best color 
balance. The seed used is the same fresh, new-crop seed described in the separate varieties. 
New Early Giant Peach Blossom

twisted petals opening almost white and gradu- 
ally passing through light pink to a bright lay-
