T HE ASTERS are esteemed among 
the most beautiful and popular 
flowers grown from seed; they are 
easily raised and most abundant bloom¬ 
ers. The flowers are very large, full, 
regular form, perfectly double and of 
many rich and beautiful colors—deep 
crimson, pure white, dark blue, rose 
pink, etc., far exceeding in brilliant 
beauty all other flowers of their season 
We offer the best seed of the following 
new and choice varieties, and hope our 
friends will give them a liberal trial.

JSsy Branching 
Asters 
These splendid Asters give immense 
satisfaction. Our customers speak of 
them in the very highest terms, and 
say they cannot be recommended too 
highly. The plants grow about two 
feet high, and are of sturdy branching 
habit. They are enormous bloomers 
and in their season are covered all 
over with splendid large, perfectly 
double flowers of exquisite beauty. 
The seeds should be sown in boxes or 
a seed-bed, and transplanted after weather is settled, where they are to remain ; set about two feet apart, 
and keep the ground mellow and well cultivated, “ and. they will do the rest.”
