Triumph Dark Blue Aster. 
ASTERS. Triumph, “ Dark Blue. 7 ’ This new color 
is of remarkable beauty, being a deep satiny blue, 
and as the flowers have the brilliant splendor of 
the Triumph class, this variety may be con¬ 
sidered an acquisition. Pkt., 20 cts. 
Triumph, “ Deep Violet.’ * A welcome addition to 
the finest of all dwarf asters. The flowers are of 
true Pjeony form, very double, and of a satiny, 
deep violet. Pkt., 15 cts. 
Giant Victoria, “Snow White.” A new strain 
of an old favorite. The plants are of vigorous 
branching growth, two feet high, and each pro¬ 
duce about twenty beautifully formed, very 
double pure white flowers five inches and over 
in diameter. Pkt., 20 cts. 
Dwarf Comet, ‘‘Bridesmaid.” The dwarf Comet 
Asters come into bloom after the early flowering 
dwarf Comet Perfection class, therefore are not 
competitors but supplementary and lengthen the 
season of flowering. The Bridesmaid is a rare 
color among Asters—white, changing to a rosy 
lilac — it is free flowering and conies true from 
seed. Pkt., 20 cts. Pure white : pkt., 20 cts. 
Dwarf Comet Perfection This class is a general 
favorite for many reasons. Its dwarf habit of growth—about two-thirds of a foot in height—makes it 
specially valuable for bedding. Its early blooming quality — it maybe had in flower by July,— the 
large size, fine formation and pure white color of the flowers are features that recommend it. Pkt., 15 cts. 
Ciiant Comet, “Sulphur Yellow.” This new and desirable color is of the very best type of the Giant 
Comet strain, consequently is sure to meet with a welcome. Pkt., 15 cts. 
Dwarf Mignon. Another Aster of dwarf habit that will enhance the value of the class. It grows 
about ten inches high, branches just above the ground, and produces in profusion the same lovely, 
semi-globular flowers for which the Tall Mignon Aster is so much prized. For beds, borders, or cut¬ 
ting it cannot fail to prove of immense value. The new colors are Crimson, White, Carmine, Rosy 
Carmine. Each pkt., 15 cts; mixed, 15 cts. 
Japanese Branching. The plants are of branching habit; the flowers have twisted petals like the 
Comet Aster or Japanese Chrysanthemum. They bloom somewhat later than the German sorts. 
Colors, White, Crimson, Pink, Purple. Mixed pkt., jo cts. each. 
Dwarf Queen. “ Vermilion.” A new, brilliant and unique color. A valuable addition to our bedding

China. Its flower stalks attain a height of from five to 
six feet. The plume-like flowers are creamy white, shaded 
with rose. A perfectly hardy perennial. Pkt., 15 cts. 
ANTIRRHINUM. (Snapdragon. ) We are offering finer 
strains of this much improved, old-fashioned favorite than 
are obtainable elsewhere. Our seed is from an unequalled 
private collection. 
Black Prince. A grand acquisition to the assortment of 
dwarf Snapdragons. The color of its flowers is a velvety 
black with an intense purple reflex. A peculiarity that 
adds another charm to this plant are the golden yellow

the throat. This is a fit companion to bed with the 
white Queen of the North. It comes absolutely true 
from seed. Pkt., 20 cts.
