B MICHEL LS CATALOGUE NOVFI TIFS IN flower SEEDS 1 I Vl in i 4 ft ^ * 1 Jn^^^ All Descriptions are as given by All Descriptions are as given by ^ their Introducers Ray-Aster ^ Awarded a Certificate of Merit of the "Society of German Nurserymen.*' This quite new and original class of Asters will be offered now in the above-named colors to the trade. Thejudgment of first horticulturists, who saw this novelty in September, was that the large assortment of these admired summer flowers got a highly appreciable addition with this new intro- duction. It was found two years ago amongst the improved Giant Comet Asters, and carefully culti- vated since. The Ray-Asters attain a height of about twenty inches, in habit of true candelabrum growth and bearing their large flowers on long, strong stalks. The flowers, measuring four to six inches in diameter, consist of rays of very long, slender quilled florets, which have a charming ap- pearance. This new type of Aster is likely to take the public fancy, being invaluable material for floral designs as well as a first-class acquisition for the flower garden. The committee of the Society of German Nurserymen, having been sent for judg- ment of this novelty, stated with words of praise in the Certificate of Merit, which was awarded for the Ray-Aster, that it is a very noticeable novelty among all classes of Asters. 91 White.
