ING. These admirable asters give 
late flowers, blooming just before

dency to form numerous branches 
gives the class itsname. The flow-

on long stems and are rich and 
showy. Petals both long and broad,

causing the flowers to resemble 
chrysanthemums.

one. Flowers are large, of a bright 
purple color, petals flat and in- 
curved. Entirely distinct. Fine for | 
cutting. Pkt., 15 cts.;. 14 oz. $1.25.

sirable early cut flower variety for
