The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



August 4, 1904. 



ASTERS. 



In perusing the seedmen's catalogues 

 one is bewildered as to what va- 

 rieties to select, for they are legion, 

 but I have at various times grown 

 some of the American forms, and one that 

 stands out as the grandest of all is 8em- 

 ple's Marvel. Sent out as a white only 

 some few years since, it has become one 

 of the foremost asters in the States, and 

 now that various colors are obtainable it 

 yields to none. Coming in later than the 

 Comets it is of great value, as it escapes 

 the terrible beetle that worries American 

 growers. I still favor the white, for its 

 huge blooms simply breathe defiance to 

 the early chrysanthemum. Vigorous in 

 growth, with flowers four or five inches 

 across on twenty-inch stems, it is a won- 

 der for cutting, and lasts for weeks. The 

 outer florets are slightly reflexed and 

 seem to suggest an improvement on the 

 Victoria type. The white is not so pure 

 as in the Giant White Comet raised by 

 Mr. Sproule, but it is a marvelous aster, 

 and I feel sure that the market men who 

 are trying it this season will find it a 

 most valuable sort. — T. W. in Gardeners' 

 Magazine.
