tion, or created a greater seiisiition atnong flower lovers in all parts of the wor.ii, 
than the "Yellow Aster." For vears past we have had almost every other shade 
imaginable, ranginK from the richest purple to the most delicate pink, bnt never a 
vcUow, until the European seed growers produced this most beautiful varietv. 
The flowers are of large size, beautifuUv quilled, and of a rich golden color. The 
p'ant is a strong thrifty grower, and desirable for either pot culture or bedditii;. 
Its greatest value, however, lies in its rich color, which .shows to the best advant- 
age when grown in abed with others of this class. Pkt. 20c, 3 pkts, 50o. 
Nou Rranrhinit JicfprC a variety of Aster having peculiar and very 
llCn Ul alll.lilllg n3lCl3« valuable characteristics. The plant is a strong 
grower, and its tendency to form numerous branches is very marked. The plui.t 
contimtes to grow later in the season than any other variety with which wcareav- 
qviainted, and blooms correspondingly late, thus giving its crop of flowers in l.it i- 
Autumn, a season when there is always a scarcity of bloom. The flowers ar.- 
borne on very long stems, and are four inches and more in diameter. The pet.i n 
are broad, long and many of them, are more or less twisted and curled in such i 
manner as to give the blooms the appearance of large, loose and graceful chrysan- 
themums. We offer this year four separate colors.

rather globe-shaped, pure white flowers. The plant is of upright, rather
