NEW HOHENZOLLERN ASTERS. 
Not exactly a new variety of Aster, but the strain we offer is so greatly 
improved both in size, form and vigor that the flowers are hardly recogniz- 
able as those of the original strain; the plants grow tall and branch freely; 
the flowers are of the Comet type with long narrow fluted and twisted 
petals which gracefully intertwine and form a gigantic flower of unusual 
substance; the season of bloom is after the Mikado variety, to which it is 
an admirable companion. We offer these in only two colors, white and rose. 
15 cts. per pkt„ or one pkt. of each for 25 cts.

eter, borne in great profusion, and are of a unique glossy orange-gold color, 
with a dark colored disc surrounded by a black zone. They require a
