OSTRICH FEATHER ASTERS. 



This magnificent imported Aster may be briefly described as being 

 the finest of the Comet type yet introduced, differing in the can- 

 delabra form of growth and greater freedom of bloom, but 

 its greatest merit is in the flowers, which are of immense 

 size; made up of much longer, more loosely formed petals, 

 equalling the best Japanese Chrysanthemums. Blooms in 

 August. When used for cutting, the flowers should be picked 

 when about half expanded and allowed to develop in water in a 

 cool room. (See cut.)
