CHRISTMAS TREE ASTER.

 much resembling the regular ar- 

 rangement of a pine tree. The

 and measure 24 to 28 inches at the 

 base, and are so profuse in flowering 

 that as many as 70 flowers have been 

 counted to one plant, aiixed CoIors.lO 



CURRIE'S CHOICE ASTERS. 



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

 duces so handsome an effect as a bed or border of Asters, and no garde" 

 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, 'trans- 

 planting 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 BRANCHBNG ASTERS. 



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

 bust growth, bearing flowers with twisted or wavy petals of remarkable 

 size, exceedingly handsome and graceful. The flowers are borne on very 

 long stiff stems which makes it extremely valuable for arranging in vases 

 or working into floral pieces.

GIANT OSTRICH PLUR3E ASTER.

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

 beautiful colors, the flow^ers often measuring over 6 inches across.

 habit, growing to a height of 18 inches, and bearing an abundance 

 of long-stemmed double flowers with long, narrow^, loo.sely curled 

 petals, admirably adapted for cut bloom.
