General Observations. 



shallow boxes, in a frame or 

 in the house. When an inch 

 high they should be transplant- 

 ed into tine soil spread over a 

 discarded hot-bed, from whence 

 they can be bedded out when 

 three or four inches high. This 

 should be done before or dur- 

 ing showery weather. Asters 

 do finely sown in the open 

 ground from the middle to the 

 last of May. The only objec- 

 tion to this mode is their late 

 and short duration of flowering. 

 They can also be grown in pots 

 successfully. Use fine and rich 

 soil, and keep well watered. 



COLLECTIONS OF CHOICE ASTERS. 



We invite special attention to the collections here offered. These are put up in Germany, and contain 

 only seed saved from the very finest plants, by men of long experience in selecting the best flowers. In each 

 collection, the colors are separate; for instance, the collection of 24 Truffaut's Paeony Perfection contains 24 

 separate and distinct colors or varieties of the class. We are confident that these assortments contain the 

 finest obtainable seeds.
