NEW JAPANESE OR TASSEL ASTER. 
This is a novelty of great merit, entirely distinct in its characteristics. The plant is 
of pyramidal growth, about eighteen inches high, bearing on long stems forty or fifty 
; flowers averaging five inches across, composed of wavy and twisted needle-shaped 
; petals. It has quite the appearance of some of the rare chrysanthemums. The colors 
range through all the shades of pink, white and pale blue. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 
MIGNON ASTER. 
A new and comparatively dwarf aster developed from the Victoria type, though more 
floriferous. The flowers are of semi-globular shape and very double, as shown in the il- 
lustration. The colors include white, pink, carmine, blue, white changing to lilac or 
to rose, etc. A beautiful Aster. All colors mixed. Packet, 10 cents; 3 pkts., 25 cents. 
NEW BRANCHING ASTERS. 
These admirable asters give late flowers, the plants blooming just before the chrysan- 
themums, and on this account are very desirable. The tendency to form numerous 
branches gives the class its name. The flowers are four inches in diameter, borne on 
long stems and are rich and showy. Petals both long and broad, and more or less 
, twisted and curled, thus causing the flowers to resemble chrysanthemums. I offer this 
, year four separate colors: Pure white, bright crimson, clear pink, lavender blue.

DAYBREAK ASTER, THE NEW FAVORITE. 
: The now famous Daybreak aster is a different thing from its parent, the white 
branching aster. Its sea-shell pink color is charming beyond description. The plant 
2 is of robust and sturdy habit, about two feet high, producing an abundance of large 
flowers on long and graceful stems, making it desirable for cutting. The flowers are 
+ giobular in shape, with beautiful, incurved petals. It is one of the prettiest asters of 
» the whole list. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
Ay THE PRINCESS ASTERS. 
This is a splendid, new class of asters. In habit of growth and bloom it is quite simi- 
lar to the Mignon group, but the flowers have shorter petals. See the illustration. The 
Princess is a free and long-term bloomer, and very satisfactory in all respects. My mix- 
ture embraces all the best colors. Packet, 10 cents ; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
NEW GIANT COMET ASTERS. 
These desirable large-flowered asters attain a height of twelve to fifteen inches. They 
are early bloomers, and are quite distinct from all others in their floral shapes. The 
double flowers are sometimes four or five inches across, with long wavy and twisted 
petals forming a loose half globe, resembling large-flowered Japanese chrysanthemums.
