 some variety equally valuable

 1895, writes: My Primroses, from 

 seed bought of you last spring, have 

 been full of blossoms for the last four 

 mouths. 



Harlequin Aster. 



HARLEQUIN ASTER. 



A striking Aster of great beautv, upright habits and profuse 

 Dioomer. This new race produces odd flowers of the most 

 handsome and attractive appearance, and continues in bloom 

 a long time. In the gardens of Paris they are considered the 

 most valuable of all varieties on account of their long dura- 

 tion m bloom and remarkable bright and conspicuous colors. 

 Composed of pure white petals quaintly interspersed, in ir- 

 regular manner, with deep blue and bright red petals. Pkt., 

 40 seeds, 8 cts. 



NEW WHITE BRANCHING ASTER. 



The magnificent, large, double white flowers, quite four 

 Inches m diameter are borne upon long stems, making them 

 excellent for cutting. It is quite different in several respects 

 from any Aster known, and it is only necessary that the 

 character of the plant should be known to make it a favorite 

 with amateurs and florists. Pkt., 40 seeds, 8 cts. 



New Comet Aster. 

 NEW COMET ASTER. 



The plants of this new variety are perfectly true in charac- 

 ter, growing 12 to 15 inches high, forming fine, regular pyramids 

 and covered with large double flowers, as shown in the illus- 

 tration. The flowers measure from 314 to 4^2 inches in 

 diameter, resembling in shape and artistically curved and 

 twisted petals, the finest Chinese Chrysanthemums. Mixed 

 colors. Pkt., 30 seeds, 8 cts. 



NEW QUEEN ASTERS. 



Very dwarf, bushy plants, growing from 10 to 13 inches high 

 branchine freely, making a dense, compact bush— excellent 

 for pot culture as well as for bedding. The flowers are of ex- 

 traordinary size, perfectly double and resemble the finest 

 Victoria Asters in form. I cannot say too much in praise of 

 this new strain, as no other variety can surpass it. Finest 

 mixed. Pkt., 40 seeds, 6 cts.
