type as our other Ball Asters, but with slightly smaller 
flowers (3 to 31% in.) of clear light blue. Blooms 
August 20.

of soft shell-pink carried on long stems. Blooms

spring. This fine strain throws few laterals, so needs

4-inch, incurved flowers which resemble a medium 
sized Chrysanthemum. Blooms August 25. 
Purple Ball. (New.) Large incurved flowers similar 
to the popular Rose Ball except for its bright purple 
color. Blooms August 20.

soft peachblossom-pink. Blooms September 1.

above extra double Ball type Asters.
