Harlequin Aster. 
The striking Aster of great beauty, up- 
right habits and a profuse bloomer. This 
new race produces odd flowers of the most 
handsome and attractive appearance, 
which continue in bloom a long time. In 
the gardens of Paris they are considered 
the most valuable of all varieties on ac- 
count of their long duration in bloom and 
remarkably bright and conspicuous col- 
ors. Composed of pure white petals, 
quaintly Interspersed In irregular man- 
ner, with deep blue and bright red petals.

Hohenzollern Aster.

produced in great abundance. Borne on 
long stems which make it very desirable 
for cut flowers. Mixed colors.

The Cornflower Aster. 
Stokesia Cyanea. 
This is one of our most charming and 
beautiful native hardy plants. The plant 
grows from 18 to 24 inches high, bearing 
freely, from early July until frost, its 
handsome lavender-blue Centaurea-like 
blossoms, each measuring from 4 to 5 
Inches across. It is of the easiest cul- 
ture, succeeding in any open sunny posi- 
tion, and is not only desirable as a sin- 
gle plant in the mixed hardy border but 
can be used with fine effect in masses 
or beds of any size.

New Yellow Aster. 
The form of the double fiower is a 
perfect ball; the quills are close to- 
gether and of the brightest sulphur yel- 
low, not a mere indication of the color, 
as in all former productions. The bor- 
der petals are broad and of a lighter 
tint, seeming to enclose the flower like 
an old-fashioued bouquet paper. The 
flowers are borne upon long, erect stems, 
excellent for cutting. Plants, twelve to 
fifteen inches high, are of compact, 
hardy growth, and most abundant bloom'
