DANIELS’ SUPERB PRIZE ASTERS. 
We have long been famous for our magnificent strains of Asters, which form an important branch of our Flower Seed 
business, and we would mention that our seeds of these having been grown especially for our retail trade may be relied on as 
the very finest procurable. 
PLEASE NOTE. — We do not as a rule count the seeds contained in our packets, but customers may in all instances rely on 
liberal quantities of good seeds being given for the prices charged. 
DANIELS' GIANT OSTRICH PLUME. 
We have much pleasure in recommending this grand new strain of beautiful varieties which we have every confidence in saying 
will give the highest satisfaction amongst our customers. 
The plants are of a strong bushy habit of growth, and attain a height of 15 to 18 inches. The very large handsome flowers , 
which are borne on long wiry stems, are of the true Ostrich Plume type, and of immense size — when well grown, frequently 
measuring six inches and even seven inches in diameter, whilst the colours embrace the most beautiful and delicate shades known 
in Asters. These will prove a splendid class alike for garden decoration, as cut flowers or for exhibition.
