ASTERS 
We are offering below a variety of Asters that cannot be excelled anywhere. Besides the Branch- 
ing Asters, we have the well known Comet, Hercules, Victoria and Elegance. The best results are ob- 
tained by planting in boxes and transplanting, although they can be raised successfully by planting 
outside in the open ground.

branching Asters wants this magnifi- 
cent new Aster. Flowers usually 4

to bring out these results. Pkt., 25c.
