NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 

 IN FLOWER SEEDS. 



Our Mr. John Farquhar visited the leading seed-growing districts of Europe last summer and 

 gave special attention to the examination of novelties in Seeds and Plants. Many of the novel- 

 ties offered this season he considers of no special merit and unworthy of introduction. To 

 save our patrons the annoyance of cultivating comparatively worthless plants, we have pur- 

 posely omitted all so-called novelties not possessing positive merit. Those we catalogue are the 

 best introductions of the year. 



Ostrich Feat/ier Aster. 



ASTER, OSTRICH FEATHER. Our illustration fairly represents this beautiful new 

 German form of Aster which we saw and admired in the land of its origin last summer. It is 

 of still more feathery appearance than the beautiful Comet Aster, resembling some of the large 

 Japanese Chrysanthemums with long, curved, fringe-like petals. Having tall, erect stems, it 

 is excellent for filling large vases.
