EARLY DAWN. This is one of the earliest Asters of the Ostrich Plume 
type, coming into flower even earlier than Queen of the Market.

Earliest White. The earliest white Aster in existence. It is doubtless 
the earliest of all extra early varieties. The plants grow erect 
with slender, wiry stems, crowned with beautiful feathery flow¬ 
ers nearly a week ahead of any other variety we have ever seen.

FAMOUS KING ASTERS (Needle Type). These Asters form a magnifi¬ 
cent class, distinct from all others in the character of the flower, 
which is of great size and substance, and lasts longer when cut 
than those of almost any other variety. The petals are long, nar¬ 
row, and folded lengthwise, appearing almost as though quilled, 
and giving the flower a graceful and charming effect. The plants 
are large and the stems exceptionally strong.
