MILLS’ GIANT ASTERS 
(See Colored Plate Page 4<S.) 
Not half enough can be said in order to give our customers a good idea of these Giant Asters. We 
have taken great pains in selecting our seed stock, so that now we are able to offer this Giant strain in 
several colors. They are greatly admired by all who see them and it would seem as if the highest possi¬ 
ble perfection had been attained in these Giant Asters. The flowers are of immense size, often measur¬ 
ing over 8 inches across, appearing in long wavy gracefully formed petals, which resembles some of 
the Japanese Chrysanthemums. These Giant Asters differ from any other variety, not only in bearing 
larger flowers, but the petals are longer and broader, which make a beautiful appearance. The plants 
are easily grown, attaining a height from 15 to 18 inches, bearing from 18 to 25 of these mammoth flowers 
on long stems. By ail means grow this Giant Aster this year. Price all colors mixed, which in¬
