NEW ROYAL ASTERS 
Extra-Early Ilohenzollern ASTERS 
Early flowering Comet Asters 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 either size, doubleness, substance or length 
of stem, but the Express 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 are the largest 
early Asters of which we know, flowers 
3>2 to 4 inches across, of double Comet 
type; splendid substance and long 
stems; plants healthy and sturdy, of 
branching habit; 18 inches high; free 
bloomers.
