The plants of this new variety are perfectly true 

 in character, growing twelve to fifteen inches high 

 and covered with large double flowers, as shown in 

 the illustration. The flowers measure from 3y, to 

 4% inches in diameter, resembling in shape and" ar- 

 tistically curved and twisted petals, the finest Chin- 

 ese Chrysanthemums. Mixed colors.

Harlequin Aster. 



The striking Aster of great beauty, up- 

 right habits and a profuse bloomer. This 

 new race produces odd flowers of the most 

 handsome and attractive appearance, 

 which continue in bloom a long time. In 

 the gardens of Paris they are considered 

 the most valuable of all varieties on ac- 

 count of their long duration in bloom and 

 remarkably bright and conspicuous col- 

 ors. Composed of pure white petals, 

 quaintly interspersed in irregular man- 

 ner, with deep blue and bright red petals. 

 Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 



Hohenzollern Aster. 



Ostrich Feather type of Asters. Much 

 larger than the Giant Comet, the petals 

 longer and more curled and twisted, and 

 produced in great abundance. Borne on 

 long stems which make it very desirable 

 for cut flowers. Mixed colors. 

 Pkt., 100 seeds, 5 cts. 



The Cornflower Aster. 



Stokesia Cyanea. 

 This is one of our most charming and 

 beautiful native hardy plants. The plant 

 grows from IS to 24 inches high, bearing 

 freely, from early July until frost, its 

 handsome lavender-blue Centaurea-like 

 blossoms, each measuring from 4 to 5 

 inches across. It is of the easiest cul- 

 ture, succeeding in any open sunny posi- 

 tion, and is not only desirable as a sin- 

 gle plant in the mixed hardy border but 

 can be used with fine effect in masses 

 or beds of any size. 



Pkt., 100 seeds, 5 cts. 



New Yellow Aster. 



The form of the double flower is a 

 perfect ball; the quills are close to- 

 gether and of the brightest sulphur yel- 

 low, not a mere indication of the color, 

 as in all former productions. The bor- 

 der petals are broad and of a lighter 

 tint, seeming to enclose the flower like 

 an old-fashioned bouquet paper. The 

 flowers are borne upon long, erect stems, 

 excellent for cutting. Plants, twelve to 

 fifteen inches high, are of compact, 

 hardy growth, and most abundant bloom- 

 ers. Tin Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts.
