inches across; one of the very best.

ties, holding itself erect without any artificial sup¬

flowers 2 inches across, frccl3^ produced. 
SATURN. Color, clear light blue. Most easily 
described as an improved Climax, but a much 
stronger grower and just as tall in growth, but a

handled Asters, will appreciate what a fine variety 
it really is, when we refer to it as an improved 
Climax. 
ST. EGWIN. Lovely shade of pure light pink, 
very popular and showy. 
WM. BOWMAN. Rosy pur[)lc that is satisfac¬ 
tory under all conditions and one of the very best 
known of this type.
