SATIN ■WHITE QUEEN ASTER. Pkt., 15e. 



NEW DWAKF QUEEN ASTEK. 



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

 aster ever introduced. 



The dwarf, bush.v plants grow only ten to twelve inches 

 high, and, while branching very freely, the branches are up- 

 right (not loose in habit), make a dense, compact bush, ex- 

 cellent for pot culture as well as for liedding. For many 

 purposes, and particularly for culture in pots, we consider 

 the habit of growth is more desirable than any variety here- 

 tofore introduced. The flowers are of extraordinary size. 

 perfectly double and resemble the finest Victoria Asters in 

 form .

ASTERS. 



Not only the most popular, but the most effective in the 

 entire list. While most easy of culture, lliere is no flower 

 which combines so much beauty and variety of color and 

 shape and habit as the modern aster. For a late summer or 

 fall di.splay they have no successful lival. Give them a rich 

 soil, and in hot, dry weather they should be mulched and 

 well watered.
