ASTER (a) 
We can imagine no other flower which combines so much 
oeauty wifh grace and usefulness and with which more bril¬ 
liant effects can be achieved. From July until September 
this flower reigns supreme in the garden, not equalled by 
any other. For these obvious reasons we give a great deal 
of attention to these flowers, and are in a position to offer 
our patrons remarkably fine strains, producing perfect flow¬ 
ers of great beauty. To do well. Asters require a well pulver¬ 
ized soil, always kept open by continuous cultivation. 
Height, 1 to 3 feet.
