beyond descriplion, and larpe beds of these lovely flowers greet you almost everywhere. Indispensable for cut flowers, fine as pot plants and alike 



i desirable to sliow at fairs and exhibitions. They are easily grown, very hardy, and offer themselves for use at a time when other garden favorites, 

 are gone, and the select strains we olfer cannot fail to give satisfaction to the most critical fiovver lover. 



My List Contains the Cream of tlie Up-to-Date Varieties 



Buckbee's New Giant Comet or Ostrich Plume Aster. 



Buckbee's New Giant Comet 

 or Ostrich Plume Aster 



This is the most distinct and improved type of flower in .\sters. 

 Under good cultivation plants grow twelve to fifteen inches in height, 

 branching freely, and each stem terminates in a fine large Hower 

 from four to six inches in diameter. The outer petals are broad. 

 Hat and refiexed and curving outv.ard, while the center of the flower 

 is composed of many short tubular petals, slightly pointed. The 

 whole flower has a distinctly feathery effect, greatly resembling that 

 of the fine Japanese Chrysanthemums. 



It would seem as if^ the highest possible perfection had been 

 attained in these truly grand Asters. They win enthusiastic admir- 

 ation from all who see them. This improved Giant strain differs 

 from the older well-known Comet .Asters, not only in bearing much 

 larger flowers, but the petals are larger and broader and plants of 

 more luxurious growth. 1 ofier the following separate colors: 



Pure White — Pkf. 7c. Clear Carmine — Pkt. 6c. 



Light Blue — Pkt. 6c. Bri(;ht Rose — Pkt. 6c. 



Lilac — Pkt. "c.

Buckbee's Giant Branching Aster. 



BUCKBEE'S GIANT 

 BRANCHING ASTER 



The flowers are the most beautifully formed 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 pro- 

 fusion 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 IS inches long; are unsur- 

 passed as cut flowers for vases and home decoration. I offer the fol- 

 lowing separate colors: 



Pure White — Pkt. 6c. Rose Pink— Pkt. 6c. 



Rich Purple — Pkt. 6c. Lavender — Pkt. 6c. 



Crimson — Pkt. 6c. 



BUCKBEE'S GIANT BRANCHING ASTERS— Mixed. Pkt. 6c.
