NEW WHITE 



^ranching Aster. 



No. 310. The new Branching Aster is unequalled. Itia 

 quite different in se\eral respects from any Aster known to the 

 trade, and those points in which it varies are points of highest 

 merit. The branching habit is accompanied witli great 

 vigor of growth and profusion of bloom, and in planting 

 ample room should be allowed for development. The 

 flowers, which are of extraordinary size, hre exceedingly 

 graceful and handsome, pure white, and are borne erect on 

 very long stems, which gives them ♦additional value for 

 arranging in vases and for wearing on the' person. 

 Price, 15c. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25c.
