III. Vick's New White Branching Aster. 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 them 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 that nearly every one 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, 85 cents. RICINUS ZANZIBARIENSIS. This variety of Castor Oil Bean or Palma Christi which we received from East Africa represent an entirely new and distinct class. The cultivation of these plants the past very unfavorable season have met with a very un- expected success. The plants attained great dimensions presenting a splendid aspect with their gigantic leaves, which surpassed in size and beauty all the varieties known. We do not doubt but that as soon as these new Ricinus are introduced in our gardens, the older vari- eties will disappear altogether. The variety named above produces light green leaves of 3 to 2'A feet across, with whitish ribs and may in its general appearance be compared to a lux- uriant growing giant Aralia Sieboldi. Stem,
