1112 SENSATION. In this new type of aster we have a variety 

 di tiering entirely from the chrysanthemum or pseony-shaped sorts, in- 

 that the petals are rather broad at the base tapering toward the ends, 

 loosely arranged, making the flower appear like a small cactus dahlia 

 bloom. The color is a dark rich garnet or ox blood red. Grow 18 to 24 

 inches high, well branched and covered with perfect flowers until the 

 advent of frost. Entirely distinct, being the reddest of all red asters.
