KING ASTERS 
A magnificent class of Asters distinct from 
all others in the character of the flower. The 
long, narrow petals are folded lengthwise, 
appearing almost as though quilled. The 
flowers are of great size and substance and 
last longer when cut than those of any other 
class. The plants are large and the stems 
exceptionally long and strong.

GREGG'S GIANT COMET ASTERS 
ALSO KNOWN AS ASTERMUMS AND MAMMOTH OSTRICH PLUME 
These truly grand Asters win enthusiastic admiration from all who see them 
They are a highly developed American type of the German Comet, Hohen- 
zollern or Mammoth Ostrich Plume Asters and are far superior to imported 
strains. The flowers are of immense size, 4 to 5 and often 6 inches across 
composed of long, wavy, twisted petals, gracefully formed into loose, yet densely 
double, half-globes, equalling some of the finer Ostrich Plume Chrysanthemums 
The plants, of luxuriant branching growth, attain a height of 18 inches to 2 feet' 
each plant bearing from 20 to 30 of these magnificent flowers on very lone 
stems, which gives them an added value for cutting and vasing.
