CLEVELAND. 



A party of Cleveland growers motored 

 to Rocky River, O., July 17 to visit 

 W. J. Kramer and have a look at his 

 asters. They found 30,000 plants in 

 fine shape, being almost in full bloom. 

 Mr. Kramer had just picked 4,000 

 blooms before the party arrived. The 

 quality of the flowers is unusually fine 

 for this time of year. The I'ink Perfec- 

 tion and White Perfection run up to 

 four and even five inches in diameter. 

 He has an Ivory strain in pink, white 

 and lavender that resembles the old, 

 popular Queen of the Market except 

 that the flowers are. larger, more full 

 and also earlier. The illustration in this 

 issue shows Mr. Kramer at the head of 

 the line of visitors. The variety at 

 their feet is White Perfection.
