 the petunia seed.

EARLY SNOWDRIFT 



IS CERTAINI.Y THE EARLIEST ASTER IN CULTIVATION— The leaves are 

 narrow and sparse, and the branches spring from close to the ground. The entire 

 energy of the plant seems given to the production of twelve to twenty long, slender, 

 upright stems, crowned with immense featherv fiowers. The Ions:, recurved petals 

 give the flowers an exceedingly graceful effect, heightened in many cases bv the 

 ragged, irregular character of the petals in the center of the flower. The flowers all 1 

 come perfectly double. Pkt., 150 seeds, 8 cts. ■ 



NEW YELLOW ASTER | 



The form of the double flower is a perfect ball: the quills are close together and i 

 of the brigrhtest sulphur yellow. The flowers are borne upon long, erect stems, ex- I 

 cellent for cutting. Plants. 12 to 15 inches high, are of compact, hardv growth, and , 

 most abundant bloomers. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. I 



THE CORNFLOWER ASTER

 hardy plants. The plant grows from 18 to 24 inches high, bearing freelv from early 

 July until frost, its handsome lavender-blue Centaurea-like blossoms each measuring 

 from 4 to 5 inches across. It is of the easiest culture, succeeding in anv open, sunny i 

 position, and is not only desirable as a single plant in the mixed hardv border, but ■ 

 can be used with fine effect in masses or beds of any size. Pkt., 100 seeds, 8 cts.
