class is remarkable for its 

 large incurved flowers and the 

 brightness of the colors. The 

 Washington varieties have ex- 

 tra large, perfectly f o r me d 

 flowers, resembling somewhat 

 a double Zinnia. Imbricated 

 Pompon are very handsome, and 

 most suitable for bouquets. In 

 this latitude, Asters should be 

 sown from the middle of March 

 to the first part of May, on a 

 spent hot-bed or in pots or 

 shallow boxes, in a frame or 

 in the house. When an inch 

 high they should be transplant- 

 ed into fine 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 .n Germany, by men of long 

 experience in selecting the best flowers, and contain only seed saved from the very finest plants. In each collec- 

 tion, 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.
