THE BEDDING ASTER PAR EXCELLENCE 
Mid-summer flowering varieties, and very profuse bloom- 
ers—veritable bouquets of flowers—and in consequence 
are unrivalled for bedding. The flowers—borne on good: 
long, stiff stems—are so very double as to appear almost 
like balls. The petals, short and narrow, are slightly 
folded and of durable lasting substance. While splendid 
as cut flowers, it is the bedding Aster—par excellence.
