IMPORTANT FACT.— Some “sixty years since” the floral world 
was startled and delighted by the introduction into England by our 
late Mr. James Carter, for the first time, of the Sealed Packets 
of German Asters and Stocks. The original cultivator 
continued to grow for us alone until his decease a few years since, 
and our present supplies are grown expressly for us and rigidly 
selected. 
Our Annual Trials exceed 10,000 plants.
