NEW BALL WHITE ASTER 
(Photo actual size) 
This, the culmination of 5 years of intensive Aster breeding here at 
West Chicago, is a pure white Aster of which we are genuinely proud. 
The fully double flowers are 31 to 4 inches across when completely 
open, the center petals of the young blooms being arranged in spiral 
fashion and becoming fluffy and full as the flower matures. Stems are 
long and sturdy, requiring little disbudding, and resistance to wilt is 
very high. Normal blooming date is September 1, but it is equally 
satisfactory when flowered at any time throughout the summer with the 
aid of early lighting. , 
Growers who have been dissatisfied with the open centers common 
in some of today’s Asters will find the NEW BALL WHITE a definite im- 
provement in this respect. Because of complete doubleness of the bloom, 
this strain sets seed very shyly and seed supply is limited this year.
