SRLECT ASTERS. 


READ MOST CAREFULLY! 

What varieties of Asters shall | buy? An important question, 
especially for those who grow for exhibition purposes 

WILL YOU TAKE MY JUDGMENT? For Early, Qucen of the 
Market. For Medium, Comet and allied styles, such as Hohenzollern or 
Ostrich Plume. For Late, Semple’s Branching. 

Almost all the novelties of the last few years haye been vanations of 
these three types, and I consider them the most desirable. 

All the Late Branching Asters, listed under various names, belong 
to the Semple's class. 

Peony Perfection and Victorla are also very desirable Asters, 

My Imperial Asters Mixture contains all the Asters I list, giving an 
opportunity to secure a great assortment without experimenting with cach 
separately. . 

Lack of space forbids much exploiting of my Asters, but Iam not 
afraid to say that my stock Is equal to the best. My prices are low 
but please note that L follow my tsual custom of lessening the size of the\% 
packet instead of raising the price. Wouldn't you rather have a large assort- 
ment for the same outlay? 


Le ee? 
DAYBREAK ASTER. 

A rare new Aster of the Victoria type, with larger flowers, in- 
tensely double and covering the plant in great profusion, ‘The color 
is a beautiful sea-shell pink, It flowers early and is a continuously 
free bloomer, and nothing finer can be imagined than one of these 
tall Aster plants completely covered with great globes of this lovely 
color. Pkt., 100 seeds, & ets. 


GIANT COMET ASTER. 

The flowers are very large and the petals so twisted and curled as 
to give a decidedly Chrysanthemum ertiect. Splendid for cutting, 
The originator claims that there are “no handsomer Asters in exist- 
ence." They are medium early, hence should he sown with late ya- 
tieties to give a succession of bloom, This is my own special mix- 
ture made up of different named varicties. Mixed. Pkt., 125 
seeds, 5 cts.; 2 pkts., 8 cts. 

For other Comet Asters see Hohenzollern, Lavender Gem, Early 
Wonder and Giant Freedom on next page. 


MONEY IN ASTERS.—Several Minneapolis ladies grow them 
with profit, either to sell the plants or cut flowers.

SEMPLE’S BRANCHING ASTER. 


The Handsomest Strain of Asters Grown. Especially prized 
by florists. The flowers are large, chrysanthemum-shaped and very 
double, and being borne on long, stiff stems are splendid for cutting. 
Coming late, they prolong the Aster season until frost. Use this strain 
with the Queen of Market and the Comet and have a succession of the 
most beautiful Asters from mid-summer to latest frosts. To insure 
best results, I make this mixture myself, and include every shade of 
this style grown. Mixed. Pkt., 125 seeds, 5e.; 2 pkts., Be.

charming layender shade. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5 cts. 


EARLY WONDER WHITE ASTER.

Queen of the Market. It is a beautiful Aster of the Comet 
form and is now classed as the best and earliest white Aster. 
Pkt., 75 seeds, 5 cts. 


GIANT FREEDOM ASTER. 

Another beautiful Comet Aster. The petals are pink and 
white striped, and the flowers are exceedingly graceful and 
pretty, As in many now vyaricties the type is not firmly fixed, 
and all flowers will not come true but all will be beautiful.

finest Asters the past season, Petals are loosely incuryed, giv-

seeds, 5c.; 2 pkts,, 8c. 


FIREBALL ASTER. 

Red asters are not common, but they come in brilliant scar- 
Iets and blood-reds in the Victoria and Peony-flowered sorts, 
both of which types are represented in my Fireball Asters; also 
Vick's new Cardinal, Very showy for bedding. Pkt., 75 seeds, 
5 c.; 2 pkts,, Bc. ro

two or three weeks earlier than any other sort. | This is a spe-

Everblooming Snowball Hydrangea 


Pew warden shrubs are so attractive in habit dnd 
elegance of foliage as this new hydranyea. Jt has 
proved itself very hardy too, but its everblooming 
habit is its most valuable characteristic, as it blooms 
profusely from June to September. The panicles 
are immense in mize and the flower is very much like 
that of the house Hydrangea, only pure white. No 
hardy shrub introdaced in years has such unquali- 
fied endorsement as this new ever ming Hydrang-

Collection. 


Three Plants for 35 cts. 


Mad. Andre. Jackmanni. Henryi. 


Jackmanni. ‘The old favorite, which every one has seen and admired for its marvelous clouds of bloom. The flowers 
are an intense rich violet purple with a soft, velvety appearance that is indescribably beautiful. 

Henryl. A vigorous grower and a free bloomer. The best large-flowered variety producing pure white flowers. 

Madam Edouard Andre. The flowers are very large, usually six-petaled, of a distinct, pleasing shade of carmine, 

Orders for Clematis should reach me not later than April 15th, as they can be handled more successfully while 
in a dormant condition, and after that date they will usually have commenced to leaf out. My “Culture of Flowers”, 
which you would receive with this order. gives careful directions for cultivation of Clematis.

: BUTTERFLY BEAN. 

A beautiful new Runner Bean, highly orna- 
mental as a climber and useful also for the 
kitchen garden. The vines are extremely 
floriferous, bearing numerous clusters of 
charming flowers, with pretty salmon-rose 
standards and snowy white wings, the two 
distinct colors making a striking contrast. 
The seeds are pretty too, mottled brown on 
white ground. Pkt., 5 seeds, Ge. 


Chrysanthemum, “Bridal Robe.” 


This.is one of the daintiest things imaginable, both in foltage and 
flower, One plant yields hundreds of beautiful white blossoms, and 
nothing is finer for cutting either to use by itself, br to decorate a bou- 
et of coarser flowers. Tho offered by others at novelty prices this 
ear, I_ am able to Rut it out at the usual prices. See page 22 for 
further description. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5 ets. 


BURBANK GOLLECTION. 
TEN PKTS. FOR 25 CENTS. 


Just before going to press I had an opportunity to get direct from 
Luther Burbank, the famous Horticulturist, some seed from his exper- 
imental gardens, and tho many are the old familiar things, 1 thought 
my customers would like to try the Burbank strains. I have made up, 
therefore, what I think will be a very desirable collection and offer 
them at ain Sale Pricer. Of course the packets are not the usual 
size, You could’nt get them forthis if they were, but the seeds are 

‘fresh and good”, and will yieid all and mare than you will want. The 
collections are already put up, and eannot be broken.
