ASTER, SUPER GIANT 
ASTER 
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 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 flowers of great beauty. To do 
well, Asters require a well pulverized soil, always kept open by 
continuous cultivation. fe
