OK MAMMOTH 



OSTRICH PLUME 



ASTERS 



These truly grand Asters win enthusiastic admiration from all who see them. 

 They are a highly developed American type of the German Comet, Hohen- 

 zollern or Mammoth Ostrich Plume Asters and are far superior to imported 

 strains. The flowers are of immense size 4 to 5 and often 6 inches across, com- 

 posed of long, wavy, twisted petals, gracefully formed into loose, yet densely 



"The Giant Comets from you last 

 year were the finest Asters I ever 

 saw; they bloomed profusely 

 and the flowers were very 

 large."

double, half -globes, equalling some of the finer Ostrich Plume Chrysanthemums. 

 The plants, of luxuriant branching growth, attain a height of 18 inches to 2 feet, 

 each plant bearing from 20 to 30 of these magnificent flowers on very long stems, 

 which gives them an added value for cutting and vasing. (See cut.)

Miss KATHERINE FISHER,

 "My Giant Comet Asters last year took 

 two prizes at our exhibit, where there 

 was a large and beautiful dis- 

 play. One prize was for my 

 Lavender Comet — it being 

 the largest Aster dis- 

 played. "

Extra' Early Hohenzollern 



or EXPRESS COMET ASTERS 



Early-flowering Comet Asters of great merit, not only for garden purposes, 

 but of even more value for early cut flowers. Extra-early flowering Asters have 

 heretofore been produced at the expense of either size, doubleness, substance 

 or length of stem, but the Express Comets are nearly as good as later-flowering 

 sorts and come into bloom in the open ground with us by the middle of July. 

 They are the largest early Asters of which we know, flowers 314 to 4 inches 

 across, of double Comet type; splendid substance and long stems; plants healthy 

 and sturdy, of branching habit; 18 inches high; free bloomers.
