 their prime. The plant is a large, strong grower, bearing immense double 

 pure deep shell-pink flowers of lasting substance on long stems. Per

EXPRESS COMET 

 Extra-Early Hohenzollem ASTERS 



Early flowering Comet Asters of great merit, not 

 only for garden purposes, but of even more value 

 for early cut flowers. Extra-early flowering Asters 

 have heretofore been produced at the expense 

 of either size, doubleness. substance or length 

 of stem, but the Express Comets are nearly 

 as good as later-flowering sorts and come 

 into bloom in the open ground with us by 

 the middle of July._ They are the largest 

 early Asters of which we know, flowers 

 3 ] 2 to 4 inches across, of double Comet 

 type; splendid substance and long 

 stems: plants healthy and sturdy, of 

 branching habit; 18 inches high; free 

 bloomers.
