A variety of European origin, but the stock which we offer is American-grown, and we believe of higher quality than can be procured abroad. It is a most distinct and distinguished-looking flower, being made up of long, thread-like, quilled petals of snowy whiteness, which form an airy, graceful bloom, nicely shown in the illustration. These are of very large size, rarely less than 5 inches in diameter, held erect on long, wiry stems; grows 18 inches high, blooming from early in August to the end of Sep- tember. This variety will appeal to those who want something differ- ent from the usual run of Asters. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 1353 Lavender Gem. One of the most beautiful Asters. It is of true Comet type, with large, artistic, loosely-arranged flowers on long, wiry stems and of the most charming shade of lavender imaginable. Begins blooming in July, continuing through August; a lovely variety for cutting. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. For New and Special varieties of Aster* see pases 51 to 60.
