Branching Asters 
These splendid Asters give immense 
satisfaction. Our customers speak of 
them in tHe very highest terms, and say 
they cannot be recommended too highly. 
The plants grow about two feet high, 
and are of sturdy branching habit. They 
are enormous bloomers and in their sea- 
son are covered all over with splendid 
large, perfectly double flowers of exquis- 
ite beauty. The seeds should be sown 
in boxes or a seed-bed, and transplanted 
after weather is settled, where they are 
to remain ; set about two feet apart, and 
keep the ground mellow and well culti- 
vated, ‘‘and they will do the rest.’’
