NEW YELLOW ASTER 



361. A Yellow Aster is at last at our disposal. It is a double 

 flower m the form of a perfect ball; the quills are close 

 together, and of the brightest sulphur-yellow, not a mere indica- 

 tion of the color, as in all former productions. The border 

 petals are broad and of a lighter tint, seeming to enclose the 

 flower like an old-fashioned bouquet paper. The flowers are 

 borne upon long, erect stems, excellent for cutting. The 

 plants are twelve to fifteen inches high, of compact, bushy 

 growth, and most abundant bloomers. Per pkt., 10c.: 3 pkts 

 for 25c. ^

 ingly graceful, and are borne erect on very long stems.
