Annuals 
Astermum Asters 
The extra-large double flowers are composed of innumerable 
long, fairly broad petals which are curled and interlaced 
much the same as those of the giant Chrysanthemums of 
the florists. The plants, which branch freely, average 
2 ft. in height and come into bloom slightly before the 
Giant Crego Asters. Being long-stemmed and large- 
flowered—the individual blooms often measure 4 in. or 
more across—Aster mums are particularly valuable for 
cut-flowers. 
The name Astermum is a contraction of Aster and Chrysan¬ 
themum, which latter they resemble in many ways.

and twisted, giving them a lovely fluffy appearance. The
