No. 4 — -Asters. — Crown Prince. This is the 

 j most perfect type of Giant Comet or Ostrich 

 ' Feather Asters in existence. The flowers are 

 ' much larger than those usually borne by the 

 I Giant Comet, and the petals are longer and 

 imore beautifully curled and twisted, and pro- 

 duced in much greater abimdance. It is the 

 latest achievement in mammoth Asters. Not 

 so tall as the branching .\sters. Flowers 5 to 

 6 ins. across are common. Mixed colors. . . 15c

 inches high and 18 inches wide. It requires no 

 trellis, like the tall Sweet Pea, neither does it 

 hug the ground Verbena-like, as does the Cupid 

 race. The flowers, of good size, are of beauti- 

 ful and varied colors. Mixed colors 5c 



No. 9 — Double Sweet Peas. — Not so beau- 

 tiful as large expanded single flowers. As good 

 a strain as any, but not more than about 30 per

 most carefully selected seed. Newest sorts, 

 mixed 5c
