R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.'S SEED CATALOGUE. 



ASTERS. 



Our Asters are grown 

 for us by specialists, from 

 the finest strains in the 

 world, and are unri- 

 valled. 



The Queen of the 

 Market varieties are 

 valuable for early cut 

 flowers, coming in July; 

 the Comet and Ostrich 

 Feather sorts are charm- 

 ing for their delicately 

 curled petals; American 

 Branching kinds have shaggy 

 flowers on long stems resembling 

 Japanese Chrysanthemums; while 

 Truffaut's Paeony -Flowered and Im- 

 proved Victoria are undoubtedly the 

 best types of old-fashioned French and 

 German Asters. 



AMERICAN BRANCHING. Semple's, or 

 Vick's Branching. A free-growing Aster 

 of robust, erect habit; producing large, 

 feathery blossoms, resembling Japanese 

 Chrysanthemums; one of the finest for 

 cutting; 3 ft.
