ASTER 
We can imagine no other flower which combines so much 
beauty with grace and usefulness and with which more 
brilliant effects can be achieved. From July until September 
this flower reigns supreme in the garden, not equalled by 
any other. For these obvious reasons we give a great deal 
of attention to these flowers, and are in a position to offer 
our patrons remarkably fine strains, producing perfect flow¬ 
ers of great beauty. To do well, Asters require a well pulver¬ 
ized soil, always kept open by continuous cultivation.
