Aster, New Japanese or Tassel. 
The beautiful flowers of this new strain of Asters offer a 
most striking contrast with those of any other variety. 
They are of immense size, measuring from five to six inches 
across, with long petals curiously waved and curled, so as 
to give them a striking resemblance to the Japanese 
Chrysanthemums. They grow fourteen or fifteen inches 
high, are well branched, and produce a number of enor¬ 
mous flowers. Colors, flesh and pink. Pkt., 100 seeds

Mrs. W. J. Douglas, Gallatin, Tenn., Jan. 29, 1903:—I have 
grown your flower seeds for several years and have always found 
them to be; what you represented them to be. I cannot describe 
how beautiful my Dwarf Nasturtiums bed was last summer, and 
the Double Dahlias grown from seed were beautiful, so manv 
rich colors. 
Mrs. Geo. W. Dietrich, Pratton, Ky„ Apr. 30, 1903:—I have been 
wYth 11 ®. y ?, ur s ^f ds K f ° r § or 10 years and have been well pleased 
beauty 6311 * 8 * >e< * P e t umas last season was a marvel of 
The Cornflower Aster —Stokesia Cyanea. This is one of our most 
charming and beautiful native hardy plants. The plant grows from 18 
to 24 inches high, bearing freely, from early July until frost, its hand¬ 
some lavender-blue Centaurea-like blossoms, each measuring from 4 to 5 
inches across. # It is of the easiest culture, succeeding in any open sunny 
position, and is not only desirable as a single plant in the mixed hardy 
border but can be used with fine effect in masses or beds of any size.
