garden purposes, hut of even more value for early cut flowers. 
Extra-early flowering Asters have heretofore bc^ produced 
at the expense of cither size, doublencss, substance or length 
of stem, but the Express Comets arc caually 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)^ to 4 inches across, 
of double C^omet type; splendid substance and long stems; 
plants healthy and sturdy, of branching habit; 18 inches high;

ASTERMUMS 
A s^endid new race of American raised Asters—really glorified 
Comets.” The plants are of strong upright growth with 10 
to 15 strong sturdy stems 18 to 24 inches long each carrying 
an enormous flower of ideal form, double to the very center 
—the long wacefully curved petals giving the effect of a 
Japanese Chrysanthemum. As cut flowers for vases 
and for garden beds they are superb. The symmetrical 
upright growth permits the plants to be grown 1 foot 
apart-—thus supporting one another in case of storm 
besides the roots are thus shaded so they 
thrive better than most Asters in hot, dry weather.
