APH op NEW BRANCHING ASTEE, THREE-FIFTHS NATURAL SIZE. 



NEW^ BRANCHEfG ASTERS. 



The new Brandling Aster is unequalled. It is quite 

 different in several respects from any Aster known to the 

 trade, and tliose points in which it varies are points of high- 

 est merit. The branching habit is accompanied with great 

 vigor of growth and profusion of bloom, and, in planting, 

 ample room should be allowed for development. The flow- 

 ers, which are of extraordinary size, are exceedingly graceful 

 and handsome, and are borne erect on very long stems, 

 which gives them additional value for arranging in vases and 

 for wearing on the person.
