Asters. The acknowledged queen of autumn annuals. Indis- pensable for the flower garden, line as a show plant for fairs and exhibitions, and charming pot plants. Very promise bloomers, with exceedingly beautiful flowers of most ex- quisite colors and almost perfect form. There are several forms of Asters, some being imbricated like the Hose some loose and globular like a Pasony. while othcts are partly incurved like the Chrysanthemum. In regard to height they are classified as tall, half-dwarf and dwarfs. The tall varieties are fine for the center of large beds and for cutting as their flowers are borne on long stems; the dwarfs are particularly fine for borders or masses of one color, as they are so compact and bloom so profusely as to seem like so many bouquets set in the ground; the semi-dwarf are good for all purposes, and extra fine for pot culture. It is a good plan to make two or more successive sowings, two weeks apart, to prolong the season of bloom ; seeds can be sown in hot-bed or house and afterwards transplanted, or they can be sown in open ground. In hot, dry weather mulch liberally with old manure or coarse litter, and do not let them suffer for water. Our list of varieties is a fine one. There is not a poor sort among them all. Per pkt.
