ASTERS— Continued. 



SATI.V WHITE QUEEN ASTEB. Pkt,, lOc; 3 pkts. for 2oC. 



NEW DWARF QOEEN ASTER. 



This is pronounced by all who have seen it as the finest 

 aster ever introduced. 



The dwarf, bushy plants 

 grow only ten to twelve 

 inches high, and, while 

 brancliing very freely, the 

 branches are upright (not 

 loose in habit), make a 

 dense, compact busli, excel- 

 lent for pot culture, as well 

 as for bedding. For many 

 purposes, and particularly 

 for culture in pots, we con- 

 sider the habit of erowth 

 is more desirable than any 

 variety heretofore intro- 

 duced. The fiowers are of 

 extraordinary size, perfectly 

 double, and resemble the 

 finest Victoria Asters in 

 form.
