VAUGHAN'S BOOK FOR FLORISTS— CHICAGO AND NEW YORK. 



NEW WHITE ASTER UNICUM. 



This grand new Aster, Two feet in height and of \-igorous branching habit 

 similar to that of the llohenzollern Aster, differs essentially in form of flowers 

 from all other large flowering classes. When the buds begin to show color 

 they are composed of very fine, thread-shaped florets, gracefully curled and 

 twisted towards the center, which in unfolding change into long, narrowlj- 

 channelled petals regularly e.Npanded in all directions, presenting beautiful, 

 loose flowers of wonderful form, 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Splendid variety 

 for cutting aid for exhibition purposes. Trade Pkt.,50c. ; J OZ., SI. 50. 



ELEGANCE ASTER. 



THE ONLY BEATTTIFTn, SINGLE ASTER. 



Single Flowering Dahlias, Chrysanthemums, Paeonias, etc., have come in 

 favor of late, and we feel sure that this new single Aster will be very much ad- 

 mired. The plants are strong and vigorous, are of handsome pyramidal habit, 

 very free blooming and produce their beautiful flowers on long, slender stems. 

 The flowers are from 2 to 3 inches in diameter, with small yellow centers, and 

 last for a week when cut. The petals are broad and wavy, reminding of the 

 Single Japanese Chyrsanthemums.
