 not coming into bloom until the latter part 

 of August, but producing on very long stems 

 full petalled, exceptionally large and deep, 

 double blossoms of fine form. The petals 

 are long, rather broad and of exceptional sub- 

 stance, and the blooms stand shipment well.

 of growth and are about two feet high. For 

 many years this class with us has been almost 

 entirely free from the aster blight.
