AsTeR, New Comet QUILLED. 

E. J. Malone, 119 Greenside Ave., Canonsburg, Pa.—I have had such grand luck | 
with my asters this year, [ feel it fitting that you should share the honors with me, 
and first I want to thank you for the first-class seed you sent me. I have never 
seen a finer display of asters anywhere than I am enjoying now. Plants attained 
a height of 2 feet, and a number will reach 3 feet, with a profusion of various col- 
ored flowers which resemble the ‘‘mums.’”’ I am more than pleased with results 
and am willing to compete with any amateur for size and beauty.
