Aster, New Japanese or Tassel . 
The beautiful flowers of this new strain of Asters

curiously waved and curled, so as to give them a 
striking resemblance to the Japanese Chrysan¬ 
themums. They grow fourteen or fifteen inches 
high, are well branched and produce a number of 
enormous flowers. Colors, flesh and pink. Pkt., 
150 seeds, 5 cts.

soms, each measuring

Flora B.Vunk, Fallette, N. Y., writes:—Last year I 
had your eight cent collection of seeds; the first I had 
ever had from you. I was much pleased with them. 
My asters were ever so nice and the pansies were simply 
beautiful. In comparing your prices with others I find 
yours are much cheaper. 
From Mrs. Isabelle Goodwin, East Lebanan, Maine 
I had the loveliest asters I ever saw from seed purchased 
of you. They were all colors of the rainbow, and so 
large; some being nearly five inches across. Such 
beauties. All of your seeds do fine for me. 
I wish you every success. 
Mrs.C.D. Brown, Oneida, N. Y. March 14th, 1905, 
writes:—Our seeds from you last year were fine, s- 
,pecially the petunias. I never saw such beauties 
I took up some in the fall and have them in w 
window garden. One is a mass of white and purpic 
now. r *
