Aster. Paeony-Flowered. Before the day of the Chrysanthemum the Aster was the acknowledged Queen of Autumn. Scarcely any flower has had more care and attention paid to it, or is grown more largely. Its profusion of large double flowers in many tints of purple, crimson, pink and white come in good play in the late summer months, when the earlier flowers are gone, and they continue all through the au- tumn until frost cuts them ofT. They are fine for either beds or borders, and make splendid pot plants. Seeds maybe sown early in the spring in the house,or a cold frame, and transplanted, or sown later in the open border. Try some each way, and get a succession of bloom. I have selected, from scores of varieties, seven very choice sorts. Cocardeau, or Crown. The two-colored Aster; the center petals being pure white, rather small and sometimes quilled, while the large flat ones that surround them are of bright, rich colors, contrasting in an odd and charming manner. Many colors, mixed. Per pkt., 8c. COMET. Avery distinct and handsome new variety. The flowers are very large, from three and a halt to four and a half inches in diameter, while the petals are waved and twisted like a Japanese Chrysanthe- mum, sometimes in solid tints, and again edged with a contrasting color. I offer a fine mixtureof the following colors: rose; clear carmine; giant white; pale : >'•<•:and lilac, pink and bright light blue bordered with white. Per pkt., 10c. Dwarf Bouquet. (Bolize's). A beautiful variety, very dwarf, only six or eight Inches high, and completely covered urith bright flowers until It looks less like a plant than a bouquet stuck In the ground. Splendid for edging a bed of itne taller sorts. Fourteen different colors mixed. Per p
