two weeks, coming into bloom just after all other late varieties have 
passed their prime. The plant is a large, strong grower, bearing immense 
double pure deep shell-pink flowers of lasting substance on long 
stems . pkt. ioc.

EXPRESS COMET Ho hen*,.*™ 
Early flowering Comet Asters of 
great merit, not only for garden pur¬ 
poses, but of even more value for early 
cut flowers. Extra-early flowering 
have heretofore been produced at the 
expense of either size, doubleness, sub¬ 
stance or length of stem, but the Ex¬ 
press Comets are nearly as good as 
later-flowering sorts and come into 
bloom in the open ground with us by 
the middle of July. They arc the larg¬ 
est early Asters of which-we know, 
flower 3H to4 inches across, of double 
Comet type; splendid substance and 
long stems; plants healthy and sturdy, 
branching habit; 18 inches high; free
