This strain of Giant Comet Asters were first exhibited at the ^ ^ ^■t * I 



Florists' Convention in 1912, and their immense size and Chrysan- ^ ^ ■ 



themum-like appearance created quite a sensation. The stock we ^^P^jL. »^ 1 

 offer was grown from seed procured from the originator and has ^^M^kA iflL 1 



been, we believe, improved under our care, the colors which were ^^f^ ' 



somewhat mixed being carefully trued up. They closely resemble -.^^s^^* _ 



Crego's Giant,. but come into bloom fully two weeks earlier. We 

 offer three colors.

The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to 2V^ feet high, 

 bearing on long strong stems their handsome Chrysanthemum- 

 like flowers, which, under ordinary cultivation, averages 5 inches 

 across. The form of Ihe flowers, together with the length of the 

 stems, places them at the head of Asters for cutting. They come 

 into bloom from two to three weeks after the average type, usually 

 being at their best during September, and filling in the gap between 

 the general run of Asters and Chrysanthemums. We offer eight 

 beautiful and distinct colors, viz.:
