New Late Flowering Japanese Aster. 



"Mauve Cushion" 



An entirely distinct species of hardy Aster which has attracted 

 much attention in our grounds on account of its unique habit of 

 growth, its lateness of flowering, and its great floriferousness. 



It forms a circular cushion-like plant 2% feet in diameter, the 

 centre of the plant rarely exceeding 9 inches in height, gradually 

 tapering off to 3 or 4 inches at the edges. The flowers, of a delicate 

 soft mauve with silvery white reflection, measure over 1'4 inches 

 in diameter and are produced in such profusion as to completely 

 cover the plant; these begin to expand early in October, but are 

 not at their best until November and continue in good condition 

 until the middle of that month. 35 cts. each: $3.50 per dozen, 



Mardy Asters (Michaelmas Daisies, or Starworts).
