NEW DOUBLE ASTERS, Michaelmas Daisies

proven so popular with our vistors that we have decided

all. However, as the flowers get older they open wide, 
showing the center. When first opened the plants 
present a most delightful picture, being of soft warm 
pastel shades on well branched 3' bushes, and the extra 
petalage gives a striking effect.
