choicest double sorts, 'i'he spe- 
cial attention given of late to 
the cultivation of the Aster lias 
resulted in the production of 
many truly magnificent varie- 
ties. Among them we may men- 
tion the Vicloria, which pro- 
duces the most beautiful and 
perfectly-formed tlowcrs, and is 
also the best f(;r pot culture. 
Fur cutting and bunching, the 
long-stalked, perfect'y globular 
flowers of tlie Jeirel are espe- 
cially desirable. The Triirfaut 
class is remarkable for its large, 
incurved flowers and tlie brigiit- 
ness of the colors. The Jtipan- 
fi.se 'Tassel Aster is a very dis- 
tinct new variety, wiih long, 
wavy petals and "flowers of im- 
mense size. The Liidy Asti'r \s 
of most graceful habit, with light 
green distinct foliage. It is ex- 
tremely floriferous. The Ostrich 
Plume is a magnificent ))ure 
wliite new variety, in style of the 
Giant C'oDtc't. In this latitude 
Asters should be sown from the 
middle of March to the first i)art 
of May, on a spent hotbed or in 
pots or shallow boxes, in a frame 
or in the house. When an inch 
high, they should be transplanted 
into fine soil spread over a dis- 
carded hotbed, whence they can 
be bedded out when .3 or 4 inciies 
high. This should be done be- 
fore or during showery weather. 
Asters do finely sown in the open 
ground from the middle to the 
last of May, but bloom quite late. 
They can also bo well gi'own in 
pots ; itse fine and rich soil, and 
water well.
