EXPRESS COMET 
or Extra Early Hohenzollern 
ASTERS 
A new early-flowering section of great 
merit, not only for garden purposes, 
but of even more value for early cut 
flowers. Extra early flowering Asters 
have heretofore been produced at the 
expense of cither size, doubleness, 
substance or length of stem, but the 
Express Comets are equally as good 
as later-flowering sorts and come into 
bloom in the open ground with us by 
the middle of July. The biggest early 
Asters we know of; really large, fine 
flowers, 3'A to 4 inches across, of very 
double graceful comet type; splendid sub¬ 
stance and long stems; plants healthy and 
sturdy, of branching habit, 18 inches high; 
free bloomers.
