ASTERS. 



A very desirable and popular flower, of most perfect and beautiful 

 form; very profuse bloomers, and include a great variety of rich colors. 

 Very valuable for an autumnal display, ha. 



Aster, Snowball or Princess, White. {Novelty.) The first 

 color of a new distinct race, raised from the Mignon Aster, withiwhich it 

 corresponds as to growth and height of the plant. Every plant produces 

 about 30 pure white flowers Jwhich resemble in shape the Liliput Dahlia. 

 The flower is high-embowed with short petals which lie scale-like one 

 upon the other. On account of its elegant, faultless shape this new Aster 

 offers invaluable material as a cut flower, the cut flowers lasting well in 

 water for a longer time than that of the other Asters. Most suitable for 

 pot culture. Packet, 25 cts. 



Jewel or Ball Aster, 1. Apple Blossom, 2. Deep Rose, 

 3. Rose with White. Three very handsome varieties of a new and 

 magnificent class of Asters, obtained from the well-known large fid. Paeony 

 Perfection tribe. Similar, but somewhat dwarfer in habit than the latter, 

 it distinguishes itself at first sight by its beautiful, short-petalled and per- ■ 

 fectly round flowers, which may be compared to the finest varieties of the 

 incurved class of Chrysanthemum. The engraving of the single flower 

 shows the noble form of the flowers better than it can possibly be de- 

 scribed. The plants attain a height of about 20 to 24 inches; the fully 

 developed flowers, measuring from 2| to 3 inches across, are as round as 

 a ball, and being borne on long stalks, they will prove very useful for 

 cutting and bunching. Each color separate. Pkt. , 25 cts.

 and excellent for pots; mixed colors. Pkt., 10 cts.
