"THE CARLSON." 



A selection of ttie Paeony-Flowered type, this new Aster is now the favorite 

 in the Chicago cut-flower market. The flov\ers are large and firm, the stems 

 long and stiff and the colors are decided and pleasing. The plants grow about 

 36 inches high and come into bloom before the Branch-'ng Asters. 



Our seed of this is saved from plants that were not blighted and were grown 

 for the seed only. There is also a lot of seed in the market that is saved from 

 inferior flowers, the best having been sold for cut-flowers.

 cut-flowers par excellence.

 duced Plant tall-growing, branching and bearing on very long stalks, flowers 

 on stalks of froni 1'^ to 2 feet m length, measure up to 8 inches across, being 

 densely double, finely curled and bearing the greatest resemblance to a large-

 effective for tall beds and groups. Trade pkt., 35c.; 'A oz., 40c.; oz.,
