 pink color. This is a grand Aster for cutting pur- 

 poses, growing 2 feet high. The best late market Aster of its color to 

 date. Pkt. 10 cts., %oz.$i. 



Comet. The Favorite, ^ti aristocrat among the Comet 



Asters. Color beautiful blush, 



changing to rich deep pink as the flower becomes older ; the petals
