COMET ASTERS. 
These comparatively new Asters are winning enthusiastic admiration from all who see them, they are 80 
large, so beautiful, so unique in their charming grace, and so free from the formal stiffness of Asters. The 
flowers average from 4 to 5 inches across ; composed of long, wavy, twisted petals, arranged into loose yet dense 
half-globes, resembling Japanese Chrysanthemums, and being borne on long stems gives them an added value 
when cut for vases. e 
The plants are of luxuriant growth, attaining a height of about 15 inches, branching out freely into 
well-formed bushes, each plant bearing from 25 to 40 magnificent flowers.
