Jewel Or Ball Aster— (I) Apple-blossom ; (2) Deep Eose ; ('■() Rose 
with White — Three very handsome varieties of a dcw and magnificent 
class of Asters, obtained from the well-known large flowered Paiony 
Perfection tribe. Similar, but somewhat dwarfer in habit than the latter, 
it distinguishes itselfat first sight by its beautiful, shorter-petalled, and 
perfectly round flowers, which may be compared to the finest varieties 
of the incurved class of Chrysanthemum. The plants attain a height 
of about 20 to 24 inches; the fully developed flowers, measuring from 
24 to 3 inches across, are as round as a ball, and, being borne on long 
stalks, they will prove very useful for cutting and bunching. Each colour 
separate. Per pkt., Is. Gil.

autumn. A last sowing in June will bring in the flowers of this excellent 
variety in the months of October and November. Per pkt., Is. Gel. 
h.h.a. Pure White Victoria — All are, we presume, fully aware

white of this kind will at once be seen ; we have much pleasure in offering 
this to our customers. 14 ft. Is. and 2s. per pkt.

beautiful of all Dwarf Asters. It forms an entirely new class, reproducing

h.h.a. English Quilled, or Globe. 
The guard petals sit regularly round, and are thickly quilled, with 
very high centres ; for size and shape they are superior to those usually

home-grown it is superior to that imported. Our large Aster bed in 
September is generally the finest seen in England. 14 ft. Mixed, Is. per pkt.
