MAULE'S SUPERIOR ASTERS.

Anniversary Mixture of the Newest Asters. This was illustrated in

 est varieties offered, and embracing Comets. Semple's New Branching, Victoria, 

 Chrysanthemum Flowered and Paeony Flowered.

 like a ragged chrysanthemum.

Extra Early Express Comet* 



An entirely new early flowering section 

 of exceptional great merit, not only for 

 garden purposes, but these are even of 

 more value for early cut flowers, as be- 

 fore early asters have been produced at

 large, in fact we consider them the big- 

 gest early aster we know of, the flowers 

 being at least four inches across, double 

 to the centre, of graceful Comet type, 

 with long stems. Plant sturdy and 

 healthy, of branching habit; free 

 bloomers.
