Exhibition Aster Mixtures ^ 



COLOR MIXTURES. The increasing de- 

 mand for Asters as cut-flowers makes it 

 desirable to grow them in separate colors. 

 I therefore offer my newest and largest 

 sorts, those especially adapted for exhibition 

 purposes, in five groups, as follows. Read 

 and tell me If this is not a method you have 

 long wished for. Pkt., 75 seeds, 5c; *£ oz.,
