BUCKBEE'S GIANT 

 BRANCHING ASTER 



The flowers are the most beautifully form- 

 ed of all large Asters, and quite different In 

 several respects from any Aster known. The 

 branching habit is accompanied with great 

 vigor of growth and profusion of bloom. The 

 flowers are very large, very double, borne on 

 long stiff stems, and the colors are clear and 

 handsome. The petals are of thick durable 

 substance, and, in consequence, the flowers 

 last long in perfection. These magnificent 

 blossoms being gracefully poised on strong, 

 well-leaved stems, 15 to 18 inches long; are 

 unsurpassed as cut flowers for vases and 

 home decoration. 1 offer the following sep=
