SINGLE-FLOWERED ASTERS. 
# r cr pkt. — s. d* 
SINGLE MAUVE (Sinensis)— 
This is well described as the 
best and grandest of the Single- 
flowering Asters. The plants 
form elegant branching bushes 
about 16 inches high, well 
furnished with rich dark green 
foliage, and produce an abun- 
dance of large, handsome single 
flowers three to four inches 
across, having a single row of 
delicate pale mauve florets 
with golden oentral diso. It 
is a plant of great beauty, 
quite distinct from the Single 
German, and far away the 
most beautiful of all the Single 
Asters. First-olass as border 
plant or for cut flowers. 
289 _ _ 6d. and 1 0 
GIANT SINGLE — 
A fine, showy class for garden 
decoration, and very effective 
when grown in large beds of 
separate colours. The flowers 
are produced on long wiry 
stems and are very useful to 
out for decoration.
