SURPRISE ASTER "SUNLIGHT." 

 The First Truly Sulphur Yellow Aster — 



Heretofore Asters of only a creamy color — far 

 from yellow — have been offered as yellow. 

 This, however, is a clear sulphur yellow, and 

 comes as a welcome addition to the long list 

 of beautiful Asters introduced in late years. 

 The flowers, virhich are borne freely on long 

 stiff stems, are of fine form, with petals some- 

 what shorter than the Jewel Aster, and meas- 

 ure from 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Its use- 

 fulness for bedding and cut flowers cannot be 

 overestimated 10
