Osti'iclifeatlier -Aster. A new class of candelabre-like 
growth with flowers of considerable size, varying from the 
Giant-Comet-Aster by their longer and very loose petals. Very 
floriferous and of great value as a cutflower. Height of plants 
18—20 inches. I offer them in the following constant colours; 
Crimson ^

Crianit - Victoria - Aster „Siiowwlilte“. A very 
advantageous addition to the „Victoria“- class, which has 
already been considered as the noblest and most perfect amongst 
all existing classes. The plants are of a erect, pyramidal 
stronger growth and reach a height of 24 inches. The faultlessly 
formed flowers of the purest snowwhite measure 6 inches 
across per pkt. 1 s. 
No. 70524. Triumph - Aster, Darkhlue. Per pkt. Orf. 
70524i,TriiiBnpli- Aster, liarkblue. (Heinemann). This new 
colour is ! of a remarkable beauty being very blue, and as the 
flowers have the brilliant splendor of the Triumph-class this 
variety may be considered as a valuable completion of the 
assortment. As the Triumph-Asters are highly esteemed by 
everybody this new colour will be very much welcomed. (See 
engraving) per pkt. 6 d. 
Trinmpli-Astei*, BroAvna-Violet. (Heinemann). The 
Triumph Aster takes the first place among the dwarf varieties. 
It is a first class bedding plant on account of its equal growth. 
At last I have succeeded in raising a new colour and I am very 
pleased to be able to offer an Aster of remarkable beauty to my 
esteemed customers per pkt. (i d.

Ti'iuinpli- Aster , D ark pui'ple . The flowers show a splendid 
bright dark colour and are o f the purest paeonyform, p. pkt. Is.Qd. 
— Wliite with rose shine. Just as recommendable as 
the foregoing per pkt. 1 s. 
Christmas-Tree-Aster. (Heinemann). (See engraving 
and front page of cover). In account of the branching habit 
much resembling the regular arrangement of the twigs on a 
fir-tree, this Aster is certainly the most striking amongst the 
many varieties now in existence. The branches stand hori- 
zontally and by this the plants differ from all existing Aster- 
types. The plants attain a hight of 20 inches and measure 
24—28 inches at the base. The Cbristmas-Tree-Aster comes 
pretty early in bloom and is so profuse- flowering, that plants 
could be shown in my nursery which were regulary covered 
with 70—100 well developed flowers of which always one appears 
at the end of each stem Besides this every flowerstem bears 
a great numoer of small buds all down the stalk which make 
very nice buttonholes. This effective Aster is therefore just 
as fit as a single plant in beds as for poteulture and also very 
useful for other purposes. It comes quite true from seed and 
can be offered in ihe following four different colours; 
Pink I 
Ughtblue f colour separate .... per pkt, 9 d.

No. 70578 Single Giant-Comet Aster. Finest mixed, per pkt. '6 d. 
Sing-le Griant-Comet-Aster. All flowers now-a-days to 
be used for flower arrangements are wanted to be as light and 
elegant as possible. Single flowers arc mostly preferred which 
is best proven by the unthought steady development of culti- 
vating the Single Dahlias, Chrysanthemums, Sunflowers etc. 
These are as it is known lately everywhere in high demand 
and much preferred to the double ones. The ^Single Asters" 
here offered which are by ho means identical with the common 
single Aster.s always to be found amongst the double ones, will 
therefore be just as much welcomed. Eeach flower being fault- 
less and graceful in its form rivals the Chrysanthemum as it 
may be seen from the photo shown here. A bouquet made from 
these flowers will hardly by any one be taken for an Aster. 
There may be some objection against introducing a Single 
Aster, but this type gives me confidence to expect that it will 
be well received and become a favorite with amateurs and 
professionals. It will certainly not fail to give entire satis- 
faction, as it has been a surprise to all persons who have seen 
it during the last season in my grounds 
Seed may be had either in
