 very earliest of the Asters. The flow-

 ter, with long- and beautifully curved 

 petals resembling a first-class Japa- 

 nese Chrysanthemum. On account of 

 its dwarf habit, it will make an ex- 

 cellent and attractive bedding 

 Aster. Pkt.

CURRIE'S CHOICE AMERICAN GROWN. 



The most popular and beautiful of all our hardy annuals. No 

 plant produces so handsome an effect as a bed or border of As- 

 ters, and no garden should be without a liberal supply of these 

 old favorites, as they furnish immense quantities of handsome and 

 brilliant colored blooms during the greater part of our summers. 

 The best results are obtained from, rich, well-prepared soil. Sow 

 indoors in February or March for early flowering, transplanting 

 into shallow boxes or pots as soon as the seedlings have formed 

 three leaves; plant out doors when danger from freezing is past. 

 For late flowering they can be sown outdoors in May or June. 



SEMPLE'S BRANCHING. 



A variety flowering late in the season, of strong branching habit 

 and robust growth, bearing flowers with twisted or wavy petals 

 of remarkable size, exceedingly handsome and graceful. The 

 flowers are borne on very long, 

 tremely valuable for arranging 

 pieces. Pkt.
