ALYSSUM SWEET, LITTLE GEM 



NEW ASTEK, COMET. 



Three Grand New Asters. 



Of late introduction, named and described below, distinct and valuable, and 

 we know cannot fail to prove a source of delight to all who plant them. 



New Aster White Queen. 



The White Queen is without exception the best Dwarf White Aster ever 



introduced. The plants grow only 10 to 12 inches high, of very compact habit, 

 branching freely, each branch terminated with perfect flowers. The tree flower- 

 ing quality of this New Aster is something remarkable, the whole appearance 

 presenting a solid panicle or head of bloom. The flowers are of purest white 

 and perfectly double, resembling the finest Victoria Astors. This splendid new 

 variety should be in every order. 15 cts. per pkt. ; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



New Aster Queen of the Market. 



A new and entirely distinct Aster, of spreading habit ; the flowers are pro- 

 duced on long graceful stems, making them very useful for cutting, as no buds 

 need be wasted. Its great merit, however, and one that makes it especially 

 valuable, is its early flowering quality, being in full bloom two weeks before 

 other Asters. The colors are deep blue, pure white, light pink and deep rich 

 rose. We offer mixed colors ; very fine. 10 cts. per. pkt. ; 3 pkts. for 25 cts. 



New Aster Comet nixed. 



This beautiful and distinct new Aster has attracted much attention, and has 

 proved to be one of the most desirable Asters now in cultivation. As will be 

 seen by our illustration, the long wavy and twisted petals form a dense half 

 globe resembling the Japanese Chrysanthemum. Mixed colors, a fine strain. 

 10 cts. per pkt. ; 3 pkt. for 25 cts. 



SPECIAL OFFER.— One packet each of the three grand New Asters de- 

 scribed above for 25 cts.
