The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to 2'/i feet high, 

 bearing on long, strong stems their handsome Chrysanthemum- 

 like flowers, which, under ordinary cultivation average 5 inches 

 across. The form of the flowers, together with the leniith of the 

 stems, places them at the head of Asters for cutting. They come 

 into bloom from two to three weeks after the average type, usually 

 being at their best during September, and filling in the gap be- 

 tween the general run of Asters and Chrysanthemums. We offer

 growth; comes into bloom a little earlier, bears 

 freely almost globular flowers rarely under 4 

 inches across and frequently over 5 inches. The 

 color is rich shell-pink, similar in shade but more 

 decided than the late branching. The centre pet- 

 - als are prettily incurved while the wide outer 



petals reflex making a most artistic and finely 

 finished flower and stands cut longer than any 

 other. 50 cts. per trade packet; $2.50 per oz.

A magnificent cut-flower variety, in bloom from early 

 August until well on in September; 24 to 30 inches high;

 Color a delicate blush pink, and pronounced by experts to 

 be the finest pink midseason sort yet introduced. 50 cts. per 

 trade pkt; $4.00 per oz. 



Crego's Giant Comet Asters. 



Magnificent fluffy flowers, averaging over 5 inches across, with 

 long strong stems; the finest of this type. Comes into bloom in 

 August, continuing well into September, and, unlike most of the 

 Comet sorts, stands when cut and is a good flower to ship. We 

 offer two colors, our own saving, of the highest quality.
