Faxon's asters, pansies, sweet peas, nasturtiums and all standard seeds : described for season of 1902 / Nursery stock Massachusetts Catalogs; Seed industry and trade Massachusetts Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Asters Catalogs; Pansies Catalogs; Sweet peas Catalogs; Tropaeolum majus Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs.

Below you will find listed my Best Asters, and on the next page full descrip- tions of the three splendid classes, a blending of which seed composes:— Faxon's Royal Mixed Asters.
