this flower reigns supreme in the garden, not equaled 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.
