CURRIE BROTHERS CO. FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL 



ASTERS. 



CURRIE'S CHOICE IMPORTED 

 (Giant Ostrich Plniue.) 



As the name suggests, this class of Asters is different from 

 other types, inasmuch as the flowers are free from all stiffness, 

 forming- instead graceful plume-like blossoms of large size, 

 and beautiful colors, the flowers often measuring over 6 inches 

 across. The plants branch out freely into well-formed bushes 

 of robust habit, growing to a height of IS inches, and bearing 

 an abundance of long-stemmed double flowers with long, nar- 

 row, loosely curled petals, admirably adapted for cut bloom.
