NEW ASTER, 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 free-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 Asters. This splendid new 

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



New Aster Queen of the Harket. 



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

 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 hall 



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



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



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

 described above for 25 cts.
