NEW WHITE BRANCHING ASTER. 



Absolutely the ]Vew Branching- 

 has no superior. It is easily grown- 

 from seed and is of great utility and 

 beanty for bedding purposes, coming: 

 at a season when there is little else in 

 flower, anticipating as they do the 

 Chrysanthemum season by a month 

 or six weeks. The flowers are borne 

 on very long stems and are Pure 

 "White, of extraordinary size," being 

 four inches and more in diameter. 

 .The petals are broad, long, and many 

 of them more or less twisted or curled 

 in snch a manner as to sive the blooms 

 the appearance of large, loose and 

 graceful Chrysanthemums. The re- 

 semblance is so perfect that nearly 

 everyone would so consider them 

 when seen as cut flowers The plant 

 is a strong grower and its terdency to> 

 form numerous branches is very 

 marked, therefore it should have more 

 room than the ordinary Aster. The 

 plant continues to grow late'r in the 

 season than any other variety with 

 which we are acquainted, and blooms 

 correspondingly l^te, thus giving its- 

 crop of flowers in late autumn, a 

 season when there is always a scarcity 

 of bloom.
