ASTER (a) 
We can imagine no other flower which combines so much beauty 
with grace and usefulness and with which more brilliant effects 
can be achieved. From July until September this flower reigns 
supreme in the garden, not equalled by any other. For these ob- 
vious reasons we give a great deal of attention to these flowers, and 
are in a position to offer our patrons remarkably fine strains, pro- 
ducing perfect flowers of great beauty. To do well, Asters require 
a well pulverized soil, always kept open by continuous cultivation.
