New Royal Aster 
A beautiful class and the best of the early Mid-Season As- 
ters. A little later than the “‘Queen of the Earlies,”” but su- 
perior to the latter. The plants are of branching habit, about 
2 feet high; the flowers being larger, very double, and the stems 
‘are longer, stronger and more upright in growth. The petals 
are broad and incurved, or shell-shaped, giving the flower a 
charming and distinctive effect. They are vigorous and sturdy 
growers, branching from the base of the plants. Although 
early—Mid-Season Asters—they remain in flower a long time; 
the flowers being of splendid substance; fine cut flower type.
