SKMPLK'S 



NEW CHRYSANTHEMUM-FLOWERED 



This new strain of American-grown Asters has been, 

 by careful selection brought to a high degree of excel- 

 lence, and it is to-daj' the best variety for the amateur 

 and florist to grow. The plants are of branching habit, 

 from two to three feet in height, producing from twenty 

 to twenty-five large, perfect flowers from four to six 

 inches in diameter, on stems from ten to twenty-four 

 inches in length. The flowers are perfect, with broad, 

 long petals, which are curled so much as to give the 

 blooms the appearance of a Chrysanthemum. One of 

 the great advantages of this Aster is its late blooming, 

 coming in flower when other Asters are over, and at a 

 time when other flowers are scarce, and is just the 

 flower to fill in with. It is a decided improvement on 

 Vick's White Branching, and is invaluable for cutting 

 and the flower trade. Pink and white, mixed, packet 10 

 cts. Red, packet 10 cents.

 beautiful shades of reds, white, pinks, variegated, etc.; they

(Palma Christi). 



This is a most striking novelty from East Africa, aa 

 entirely new and distinct class, and may, in its general 

 appearance, be compared to a luxuriantly growing giant 

 Aralia Sieboldt. The plants attain great dimensions,, 

 presenting a splendid aspect with their gigantic leaves., 

 which range from brilliant coppery bronze to light and. 

 dark green ; the ribs, also, are of bright colors, and con- 

 trast nicely with the leaves. They make handsonie 

 specimen plants, and will become a general favorite. 

 We have had the seeds engraved natural size, as in th» 

 illustration, and in themselves they are a great curiosity^ 

 being hisrhly polished and of the most beautiful colors..
