ASTERS 
THE AMERICAN VIC- 
TORIA ASTER 
These comparatively new As- 
ters are midsummer flowering 
varieties, healthy and vigorous 
in growth, of upright, bushy 
habit and very profuse bloom- 
ers — veritable bouquets of 
flowers — and in consequence are 
unrivalled for bedding. The 
flowers — borne on good long, 
stiff stems — are so very double 
as to appear almost like balls. 
The petals, short and narrow, 
areshghtly folded and of dur- 
able, lasting substance. While 
splendid as cut flowers, it is as 
the beddmg Asters — par ex- 
cellence — for our Canadian 
climate and conditions, that 
the Imperial Asters are espec- 
ially recommeuded.
