ASTER. New Dwarf, Triumph. 
The mosi beautiful and distinct dwarf Aster in cultivation, only growing from 7 
to 8 inches high, each plant covered with from 30 to 40 large, handsome, perfectly 
formed flowers of unsurpassed form and exquisite beauty. The flowers bend slight- 
ly at varying angles, which do not impair their beauty, but makes every plant ap- 
pear to be a bouquet in itself. The individual flowers measure from 2% to 3 inches 
across, and are of the most faultless Peony form, all petals being beautifully incury- 
-ed. Thecolor is peculiarly rich and brilliant; when beginning to bloom it is pure 
= searlet, but when in full bloom it changes to a magnificent, satiny deep scarlet, pre- 
£ senting with these two brilliant colors a lovely sight. The effect produced in mass- 
ing, bedding and bordering cannot help but induce favorable comment. 
Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.

ASTER. 
Dwarf White Queen. 
A pleasing companion 
to the New Dwarf Tri 
umph Aster being a d 
tinct and decidedly hand- 
some pure white Aster, = 
resembling in height, 
form and habit of growth, 
the Victoria race, but isa more profuse bloomer and florets more perfect. 
Its habit is very dwarf and bushy, only growing 8 to 10 inches high, each 
plant bearing from 20 to 30 beautifully formed and exceedingly large and per- 
fect double flowers, almost completely hiding the foliage. For massing, bed- 
ding and bordering, and more particularly for pot cuiture, is most admirably 
adapted. I know of nothing that could be more attractive than a bed of 
Dwarf White Queen and New Dwarf Triumph Asters. 
Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
MARGUERITE CARNATION. 
Many new, exceedingly valuable and beautiful novelties in flower seeds 
have lately been introduced, but I feel confident that none of them can excel 
the beautiful Marguerite Carnation. In the first place, any one growing 
these beautiful Carnations can secure the greatest possible perfection with the 
most ordinary care. In the the second place, it is hardly possible that they 
will ever be excelled as to size of flowers. But above all, they will bloom with- 
in 4 months after sowing the seed. The vigorous stalks grow usually 6 to 8 
inches high, the buds and flowers, much crowded together, forming many 
large tufts The flowers are of brilliant colors, ranging through all shades of 
red, pink, yellow and white, many handsomely variegated, and are always, as 
stated above, of enormous size. They are most valuable for pot culture, bed- 
ding, groups and borders; and any one in want of fine flowering plants is of- 
fered in the beautiful Marguerite Carnations, a new race that cannot be ex- 
celled, all the more remarkable in the fact that they can be planted at any 
Season of the year and will bloom in four months after sowing the 
seed. Sown about May Ist in the open ground they require but little different 
cultivation, other than that given to the ordinary annual.

DOUBLE ROSE-FLOWERED BALSAIS. 
It gives me pleasure to offer my friends and cus- 
tomers a strain of Double Balsams, that for large 
Size, perfect form, robust habit and diversity of rich fm 
and delicate colors, stand unrivaled. The individ- iis 
ual flowers measure over 2 inches across, perfectly 
double and borne in the most wonderful profusion. § 
On my trial grounds at Priar Crest the past sum- 
mer, the Double Rose Flowered produced more per- 
rect double blooms than any other strain of Bal- 
Sams tested, and I had many strains, collected both § 
from home and foreign growers. Although the 
compact, bushy, branching plants are literally coy- 
ered with bloom the whole summer long, yet they (a 
produce but little seed, many plants yielding no § 
Seed at all, so that unless the strain be allowed to§ 
deteriorate, seed of the Double Rose Flowered Bal- 
Sams must necessarily always be scarce and high 
priced. I offer twelve distinct varieties of this un- 
approachable strain. 4
