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

 finely curled, while the inside petals look like tubes of 

 deep yellow, making an effective flower of a canary yel- 

 low color 10 



EXTRA EARLY HOHENZOLLERN. 

 In this class of Asters we have a strain of exceptional merit. 

 They are extra early, coming in ahead of the well-known 

 Queen of the Market, and at least 2 or 3 weeks in advance of 

 "lie ordinary Asters. The flowers are similar in form and size 

 „'o a good Comet Aster; very durable and do not show their 

 centers so readily as the Comet sorts do; the stems are stout 

 and long, making them excellent for cut flower work. A splen- 

 did Aster for early cutting.
