Aster, Zirngiebel’s Improved White. This variety oi 
white Aster has been largely grown by florists about Boston, with great 
satisfaction, being especially adapted to their use on account ot the 
purity, size and quality of its flowers, and the abundance produced by a 
single plant, as well as for its dwarf habit. The flowers are of a shin- 
ing, part white, very double and large, imbricated and globular in form ; 
therefore, it can be no other than a first-class Florist variety. We have 
grown this superb Aster quite extensively, and find it far surpasses any 
thing else in the line of double white Asters. It is admirably adapted 
for bouquets and wili give the greatest satisfaction possible. We offer 
seed direct from the grower, Mr. Zirngiebels and would earnestly urge 
my customers to try it. Price per packe' 10 cents, large packet, 500 
seeds, 50 cents.

The fine marigold “ Meteor," was not long in be- 
coming a favorite and we believe this is destined to 
become more universally popular than even its parent.

orange renders them exceedingly rich and beautiful, 
much more showy and desirable for cutting purposes 
than other varieties. The Plant is thrifty, blooms 
profusely, thus giving an abundance of flowers the 
entire season. We recommend it as one of the most 
desirable annuals known. Price per packet 15 cents,

New Double Daisy.—” Long- 
fellow.” 
We offer this season an extra fine 
strain of seed of this splendid Daisy which 
we feel assured will please every one who 
grows it. This Novelty comes true from 
seed and resembles the Prince of Waies daisy 
to a marked degree, by the unusual size and 
doubleness of its dark rose flowers; tfie 
plants are at once noticeable, owing to the 
length and stiffness of their flower stalks, 
whereby the flowers are rendered of consider- 
able value for bouquets. As shown in the 
illustration, it is very distinct in habit, and 
produces its large, handsome flowers in the 
greatest abundance. Daisies may be easilj 
raised from spring-sown seed and had in 
flower in a very short space of time. We 
and can supply excellent seed. Per pkt. 15 cts. ; 4 pkts. for 50 cts.
