■MY LIST CONTAINS THE CREAM OF THE UP TO DATE VARIETIES. 



BUCKBEE'S SNOWBALL —4— Magnificent and exceedingly dwarf, 

 compact growing Aster. Never exceeds ten inches in height. It 

 is decidedly the handsomest pur« white Aster ever introduced, 

 [n habit it is very bushy, each plant bearing thirty or more 

 beautifully formed and exceedinglv large and perfectly double 

 flowers, almost completely hiding the foliage. For massing, bed- 

 ding, bordering and more particularly for pot culture, this Aster 

 is most ndmirablv adapted. Be sure and trvit. Pkt. CO seeds 10c. 



eUCKBEE'S FIRE KING— A pleasing companion to "Buckbee's 

 Snowball." Dwarf variety. The individual flowers are of large 

 size and of most faultless form. The color is distinctly rich and 

 gorgeous, flowers when first opening being a pure scarlet, but 

 when fully expanded chaiige to a handsome satiny deep scarlet, 

 pi'esentinsr a most charming appearance. Pkt. 50 seedS'lOc. 



THE NEW YELLOW ASTER — After the many vain attempts of 

 years past a yellow aster has really been produced. Just how far 

 "Nature has been made more beautiful thereby" we leave to the 

 individual judgment of each planter, but are sure that many will 

 welcome the unexpected novelty of a yellow Aster. The form of 

 the double flower is a perfect ball ; the quills are close together 

 and of the brightest sulphur yellow, not a mere indication of the 

 color, as in all former productions. Flowers boi'ne on long, erect 

 stems, excellent for cutting. From twelve to fifteen inches high, 

 of compact, bushv srrowth. an abundant bloomer. Pkt. .00 seedsSc. 



NEW AMERICAN ASTER — Mary Semple— This is an American nov- 

 elty of vinusual merit — sure to become popular even in Germany. 

 Grown at Roekfoi'd Seed Fann it attracted much attentien when 

 in full flower during August and Septembei . It grows two feet 

 high and. owing to its free branching habit, each plant should be 

 allowed sufficient space for its full development — of a very soft

 stems twelve inches long, and are most desirable for cutting.
