New Royal iene 
A beautiful class and the best of the early Mid-Season 
Asters. A little later than the ‘‘Queen of the Earlies,”’ 
but superior to the latter, The plants are of branching 
habit, about 2 feet high; the flowers being larger, very 
double, and the stems are longer, stronger and more 
upright in growth. The petals are broad and incurved, 
or shell-shaped, giving the flower a charming and distinct- 
ive effect. They are vigorous and sturdy growers, 
branching from the base of the plants. Although early— 
Mid-Season Asters—they remain in flower a long time; 
the flowers being of splendid substance; fine cut flower 
type.
