 country. Amateurs cannot do better than plant the en- 

 tire list, which we will furnish, one packet of each variety,

Queen of the Market. — A new and entirely distinct 

 variety of spreading habit ; the flowers are produced 

 on long graceful stems, making them very useful for 

 cutting, as no buds need be wasted. Its great merit, 

 however, and one that makes it especially valuable, is 

 its early flowering quality, being in full bloom two 

 weeks before any other Asters. The mixed colors 

 include rich rose, pink, dark blue and pure white . $0 10
