SNOWBALL ASTER. 
A most distinct and hand- 
some variety equally valuable 
for pot culture and cut flowers. 
It is a most profuse bloomer, a 
single plant often producing as 
many as25to30pure snow white 
flowers, globular in form and of 
extraordinary size. Pkt., 40 
seeds, I 2 cents.

seed bought, of you last spring, have 
been full of blossoms for the lost four 
months. 
New Comet Aster. 
A striking Aster of great beautv, upright habits and profuse 
bloomer. I his new race produces odd flowers of the most 
nancisome and attractive appearance, and continues in bloom 
a long time. 1 n the gardens of Paris they are considered the 
most valuable of all varieties on account of their long dura- 
tion in bloom and remarkable bright and conspicuous colors. 
Composed of pure white petals quaintly interspersed, in ir- 
regular manner, with deep blue and bright red petals. Pkt., 
40 seeds, 8 cts. 
NEW COMET ASTER. 
The plants of this new variety are perfectly true in charac- 
ter. growing 12 to 15 inches high, forming fine, regular pyramids 
and covered with large double flowers, as shown in the illus- 
tration. The flowers measure from 3*4 to 4*4 inches in 
diameter, resembling in shape and artistically curved and 
twisted petals, tho finest Chinese Chrysanthemums. Mixed 
colors. Pkt., 30 seeds, 8 cts. 
NEW WHITE BRANCHING ASTER. 
The magnificent, large, double white flowers, quite four 
inches iu diameter are borne upon long stems, making them 
excellent for cutting. It is quite different in several respects 
from any Aster known, and it is only necessary that the 
character of the plant should be known to make it a favorite 
with amateurs and florists. Pkt., 40 seeds, 8 cts. 
NEW QUEEN ASTERS. 
Very dwarf, bushy plants, growing from 10 to 12 inches high 
branching freely, making a dense, compact bush— excellent 
for pot culture as well as for bedding. The flowers are of ex- 
traordinary size, perfectly double and resemble the finest 
Victoria Asters in form. I cannot say too much in praise of 
this new strain, as no other variety can surpass it. Finest 
mixed. Pkt., 40 seeds, G cts.
