At another place or in another season these varieties might 

 not have given us the most satisfaction ; but these names 

 suggest some of the colors, if one does not happen to have a 

 seedsman's catalogue handy. 



Of China asters, the Comet type — in various colors — will 

 probably give the most satisfaction. They are mostly large- 

 growing kinds. Other excellent kinds are the Perfection and 

 Peony-flowered, Semple or Branching, Chrysanthemum-flowered, 

 Washington, Victoria, and, for early, Queen of the Market. 

 Odd varieties are Crown, German Quilled, Victoria Needle and 

 Lilliput. Very dwarf kinds are Dwarf Bouquet or Dwarf Ger- 

 man, and Shakespeare. 



Anyone who wants to know more about sweet peas may have 

 our Bulletins i 1 1 and 127, and for China asters Bulletin 90. Our 

 Bulletin 121 has instructions about laying out yards. Instruc- 

 tions on spraying, with formulas, are contained in Bulletin 114. 



Now, let us see how many little boys and girls in New York 

 State will raise sweet peas and China asters this year ! And 

 we should like them to write us all about it.
