American Branching Asters

Cregos are known also as Ostrich Feather be-

petals. They are the earliest of these gracefully 
informal asters.

American Branching Asters

Pompon Asters 
1100—Variety Mixture. Try asmall planting of 
these pompons and see how very showy asters 
can be. The blooms resemble pompon chrysan- 
themums, but they bloom earlier and the colors 
are quite different; no bronze and yellow like 
Mums but rose, lavender, scarlet and purple.

New Victory Giants 
1700—Variety Mixture. These enormous flow- 
ers have shaggy reflexed petals and are borne 
on long clean stems. Colors are salmon shades, 
white, light pink, rose, shades of blue and 
striped. One of the most beautiful and graceful 
asters developed in recent years.

Single Asters 
1830—Upright Single Rainbow Mixture. Very 
large single flowers on long clean stems. Beauti- 
ful shades of salmon, light pink, purple, laven- 
der and white all with yellow centers. One of the 
best asters for an abundance of cut flowers. 
Pkt. 15c; Lg. Pkt. 30c; 44 Oz. 95c. 
ALYSSUM 
The most popular edging plant because of the 
ease with which it can be grown. Seed sown out- 
doors produces bloom in six weeks. The new 
dwarf varieties make trim mounds of pearly 
white which are sweet scented.

Nothing like Alyssum for a neat edging. 
If the plants get scraggly in mid-summer, 
they may be sheared back to several inches in 
height and in a week or ten days will be com- 
pact masses of bloom again. 
2021—Little Gem. Unexcelled for white edg- 
ing. The compact growing plants are small 
round mounds about 6 in. high and 10 in. across. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 Oz. 35c; Oz. $1.10. 
2022—Carpet of Snow. The best for a very 
low flat edging or ground cover. The plants form 
round flat mounds only 3 to 5 in. high and 12 to 
15 in. across. If the sides of the plants are 
sheared back occasionally they will make a very 
low, compact white edging all summer. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 Oz. 40c; Oz. $1.80. 
2020—Sweet Alyssum. Very fragrant. Grows 
10 inches high and 2 feet wide. Very effective 
as a border in front of Purple Prince Petunias 
or Bonfire Salvia. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 Oz. 30c; Oz. 90c. 
2023—Violet Queen. Heretofore the lavender 
alyssum has been rather pale. This new one is a 
deep lavender. The plants are of the same popu- 
lar size as Little Gem. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 Oz. 60c; Oz. $2.00. 
2025—Saxatile (Basket of Gold) Perennial. 
This is the vivid yellow perennial that is so 
showy in rock gardens and borders in early 
spring. Foliage is gray green. Very easy to grow 
from seed.

One plant of the Pompons is like a large bouquet. 
Princess Asters

of quilled petals, each with a golden base, are

ers of recent introduction. Grown for us by an 
aster specialist and includes a wide variety of 
colors.
