This- is the largest and most 
fully double Aster known. The 
flowers are from six to seven 
inches across. The plants reach 
a height of 2% to 3 feet, 
with six to eight long, non¬ 
lateral stems per plant. 
The color is a lovely pure 
shell pink, the first of a new 
race of Asters, resembling 
the famous Gi- 
stems, which 
need no disbud¬ 
ding.

The large 
flowers are 
most artistic, 
due to the curl¬ 
ing and inter¬ 
lacing of the 
petals, giving a 
light feathery 
effect. Flowers

The aster 
does best when 
brought to flow¬ 
er late in the 
season. It comes 
in after many 
other flowers 
have come and 
gone, and will 
bloom right up 
until rather 
heavy frosts. 
However, a suc¬ 
cession is de- 
s i r a b 1 e, and 
can be had in 
several ways. 
By planting 
seed at inter¬ 
vals of several 
weeks from 
March indoors 
to last of May 
outdoors, you 
can prolong the 
aster season a 
number of 
weeks. Planting 
early and late 
varieties at the 
same time will 
also accomplish 
this to a con¬ 
siderable ex¬ 
tent.
