ASTERS. 



For beauty and variety of habit, form, and colour, the Aster stands unrivalled, and of all flowers 

 is best adapted to gratify the taste, and meet the accommodation of every lover of floral beauty. Some of 

 the flowers are unusually large, others extremely small ; some are beautifully incurved, others reflexed ; 

 while some of the varieties are tall and others dwarf. Amongst the tall kinds most worthy of notice we 

 should mention the Emperor, with its noble flowers ; the Paeony, with its beautifully incurved ball-shaped 

 blossoms ; the Imbrique Pompone, with its numerous miniature flowers ; and the Cockade, with its beautiful 

 large white centre and variously-tinted border. The above are particularly suitable for large flower-beds, 

 or intermingled in the borders with Dahlias, Gladioli, and Roses. Of the dwarf varieties the most 

 beautiful are the Chrysanthemum, its large flowers almost hiding the foliage ; and the Bouquet Aster, with 

 its 100 or 200 blossoms. These are splendid, either for small flower-beds or edgings. 



IVew Giant Emperor Aster.

Chrysanthemum fl., or Victoria.
