Novi=Belgii Climax. In this splendid new variety we have the most important addition to Michaelmas Daisies yet made, and we believe the forerunner of a distinct type. The plant is of strong, vigorous, habit, over 5 feet high, fully one-half of which consists of much-branched pyramidical -shaped flower stems filled with light lavender-blue flowers, each \\ inches or more in diameter. It blooms from the latter part of August until the middle of October. Thompsoni. One of the most beautiful large-flowered sorts yet introduced. The flowers are graceful, stellate form and of a pleasing Venetian-blue color; grows 15 to 18 inches high and blooms in July and August. Price, except where noted, 25 cts. each; $ per doz. Set of 4 sorts for $ JAPANESE DOUBLE WHITE HARDY ASTER. This came to us unnamed from a Japanese nurseryman, and is entirely distinct from all other hardy Asters; the plants are of symmetrical habit, and grow about 2 feet high, and bear from July to September double white flowers not unlike the double white Feverfew.
