Asters. The acknowledged queen of autumn annuals. Indis- pensable for the flower garden, line as a show plant for fairs and exhibitions, and charming pot plants. Very promise bloomers, with exceedingly beautiful flowers of most ex- quisite colors and almost perfect form. There are several forms of Asters, some being imbricated like the Hose some loose and globular like a Pasony. while othcts are partly incurved like the Chrysanthemum. In regard to height they are classified as tall, half-dwarf and dwarfs. The tall varieties are fine for the center of large beds and for cutting as their flowers are borne on long stems; the dwarfs are particularly fine for borders or masses of one color, as they are so compact and bloom so profusely as to seem like so many bouquets set in the ground; the semi-dwarf are good for all purposes, and extra fine for pot culture. It is a good plan to make two or more successive sowings, two weeks apart, to prolong the season of bloom ; seeds can be sown in hot-bed or house and afterwards transplanted, or they can be sown in open ground. In hot, dry weather mulch liberally with old manure or coarse litter, and do not let them suffer for water. Our list of varieties is a fine one. There is not a poor sort among them all. Per pkt. Ciant-Branching Comet—A superb new Aster, growing 18 inches high, with enormous flowers borne on long graceful stems. The plant branches freely, carrying from'2d to to of its magnificent flowers. Each doweris as double and perfect as a Pasony, 5 to o inches in diam- eter, with center filled with a charming whirl of petals. after the true comet style. All colors mixed 15 Ciant-Branching Comet, Carmine—Fine bright col'>r 10 " " " Carmine, Striped White '"to " " " White, Striped Pink ' "in " " Rose Pink—A lovely color lo " Pure Whlte-A real giant in size and magnificence. Stems 12 to 15 inches long 10 One pkt. each of above six for 50c. Ciant-Branching Upright, White —A grand white, branching Aster with enormous double upright blos- soms on upright stems 10 Ciant Comet—The plants are tall and of much vigor while tlie flowers are Ol such extraordinary size that they may without contest be said to be the largest of any in existence. Flowers are formed of large twisted and curled petals, and look exactly like the most re- lined forms of Japanese Chrysanthemum, They must therefore take llrst place among Alters of unique beau- ty. Many colors mixed 10 Clant Comet, White—Immense size, snow White 15 Clant Comet, Sulphur Yellow—Superb novelty 15 Semple's Marvel—A new American Aster of wonderful beauty and profusion. Plants grow 211 inches high, branch freely in an upright manner, producing a great number of magnificent blossoms on long stems. " The flowers are very double and perfect, and possess the richest colors. They bloom a little later than most kinds and escape the ravages of the Aster beetle. One of the good recent novelties. Per pkt. Semple's Marvel, Crimson or Lavender 10 " " Delicate Pink or Rich Purple in " " Pure White or Mixed Colors 10 SILVEIt-TIPPED
