GIANT COMET. This is one of 

 the most distinct and Improved 

 type of asters, as well as being one 

 of the earliest to boom. Plants

 branching freely. The double flow- 

 ers are sometimes 3 or 4 Inches 

 across, with long wavy and twisted 

 petals forming a loose half globe, 

 resembling Japanese chrysanthe- 

 mums. For early cut flowers or 

 massing this is one of the best.

 blending In a most pleasing manner. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 35 cts. 



1117 LAVENDER 

 GEM. A true Ostrich 

 Feather type, with large, 

 loosely arranged flowers

 ender, on long, wiry 

 stem. Flowers always 

 full and double; greatly 

 admired. The fluff" ef- 

 fect of the Ostrich feath- 

 ered type, to which it 

 belongs, is enhanced by 

 the fact that it bears a 

 large proportion of long 

 partly tubular florets 

 that are irregularly cut 

 and slashed. So that the 

 flowers look like a rag- 

 ged chrysanthemum.

 quisite silvery white

 delicate shade of laven- 

 der when fully expand- 

 ed. Packet, iO cents.
