ELLIOTT'S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1895. III. Novelties and Specialties in Flower Seeds ASTER, NEW WHITE BRANCHING. It is with pleasure we offer to flower lovers a variety of Aster having- some peculiar and very valuable characteristics. The plant is a strong grower, and its tendency to form nu- merous branches is very marked. It continues to grow late in the season and blooms corre- spondingly late, thus giving its crop of flowers late in autumn when there is a scarcity of bloom. The flowers are pure white, borne on very long stems. The petals are broad, long, and many of theni are more or less twisted and curled in such a manner as to give the blooms the appearance of large loose and grace- ful Chrysanthemums. The resemblance is so great tliat nearly everyone would so consider them when seen as cut flowers. There is no question that they will quickly find a place for themselves anticipating as they do the Chrys- anthemum by a month or six weeks. Price per packet, 15 cents. ^ ASTER, "LADY IN ; This new Aster which we offer to the public this season, we have a novelty of the high- est rank, which will doubtless attain a wide popularitv, especially as a cut-flower variety while it fs equally desirable for bedding and pots.
