“The seed orders you shipped to 
the Windsor and Fort William 
Henry Hotels last year worked out 
just about right for our requirements. 
We would like you to duplicate the 
order this year. We took 33 Blue 
Ribbons at the Essex County Fair 
last August thanks to Harris Seeds.”

very early. The long stems are straight and free from little side flowers. 
Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 40c; 1% Oz. $1.75. 
1824—Early Giant Light Blue. Not only is this new aster a better shade of 
light blue than any we have ever seen, but the flowers and plants are far 
superior. These Early Giants have the large size and graceful shaggy form of 
the California Giants but the plants are sturdier and bloom is produced earlier.

1403—Crego, Deep Rose. An enormous mid- 
season aster resembling a large shaggy chrys-

1402—Crego, Shell Pink. One of the daintiest 
asters, in both form and color. The large 
shaggy blooms are particularly effective when 
combined with the deeper colors of other mid- 
season blooming varieties.
