PEONY PERFECTION 
The most noted of all the Asters, 
very double and of parent size, which with their 
beautifully incurved petals {fives a perfection of form 
unsurpassed in any other variety. In habit the plant is much 
branched and pyramidal-shaped, making the flowers splendid for 
cutting, while the range of colors is exceedingly wide, containing 
more shades than any other Aster. Mixed. Pkt., 4 ctH. 
IHlton, Kan., Mar. 1897.—'"The flowers I raised from your soeds, tho Tansies and 
Aaters and some of tho others mixed, took first promimn at our oounty fair over tho 
groenhousc displays. Tho Royal Challenge l’nuslcs woro beautiful."

DWARF CHRYSANTHEMUM ASTER. 
In size of flowers and hnbit of growth, no dwarf variety is more 
desirable. The flowers are large, chrysanthemum-shaped, and 
n produced in clusters of fifteen to twenty, or even more, in a truss. 
Columbia April, 1897.— each plant forming in itself a beautiful bouquet. It will be found

PRIZE QUILLED ASTER. 
This variety is unlike any other in 
that the petals arc tube or quill-shap¬ 
ed, bunched in a dense mass, sur¬ 
rounded by an involucre of ordinary- 
shaped petals. The plants are tall 
and branching and bear a great pro¬ 
fusion of blossoms, which arc splen¬ 
did for cutting, ns the blooms remain 
perfect many clays. There is a wide 
range of colors’ including the new 
yellow which has been much adver¬ 
tised of late,—the only Yello\V Aster 
thus far developed. Mixed. Pkt., 5c. 
QUEEN OF THE MARKET 
ASTER. 
Sometimes listed as “Queen of the 
Enrlies.” The great value of this va¬ 
riety is that it is the earliest of all As¬ 
ters by two weeks. The plants ate 
somewhat dwarf, very branching and 
free blooming, and the large, double 
flowers, borne on very long stems, nre 
exceedingly valuable for cutting. 
Mixed colors. Pkt., 4 Cts. 
VICK’S WHITE BRANCH¬ 
ING ASTER. 
This variety, of late Introduction, is 
so fine for cutting that it well de¬ 
serves and will have a permanent 
place in the Aster bed. Its flowers 
nre large, pure white and ns hand¬ 
some ns n Chrysanthemum, which 
they much resemble. It is among 
the latest to flower, thus prolonging 
the Aster season, but iu the more 
northern regions needs almost to be 
started in the house or cold frame. 
None better for cutting. Pkt., 5 ©tH. 
WASHINGTON ASTER. 
A tall grower, iu hnbit of growth 
much like the Perfection Aster, bear¬ 
ing perhaps the largest flowers of any 
of the Asters. Solid colors. Mixed.
