. The Geo. A. Weaver Co's seed catalogue 1902. Nursery stock Rhode Island Newport Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Agricultural implements Catalogs. Comet Aster—Emi-ress Fredkrktc. Comet Aster, Empress Frederick. Among the many varieties of Dwarf Comet Aster lately introduced, this one is the best. Its flowers are also of the purest white, 4 to 5 in. in diameter, and of the most refined and elegant globular form, but the feature which constitutes its special merit is the com- pact, sturdy and thick-set habit of the plant, which makes it particularly suit- able for growing in pots. The strong main stem bears a superb flower of extra size, which is surrounded and party over-topped by other fine globular blooms borne on side-shoots to the number of 8 to 12. A magnificent general effect is thus produced, and as a pot Aster it will be unsurpassed. We con- sider this grand novelty one of our best introductions, and predict for it a great future. Pkt. 40 cts. Aster, Midsummer Triamph. Dark scarlet. Blooms as early as June the 20th ; is in full bloom from the mid- dle of July, and" continues to bear flowers for a very long period. The Midsummer Triumph, which comes absolutely true from seed, will cer- tainly piove a gem for every lover of this favorite flower. Pkt. 30 cts. Lady Aster. Light blue, pure white. Comet-flowered. Through its elegant habit and great profusion of bloom undoubtedly the most graceful of all classes of this favorite flower, and entirely dis- tinct by reason of its narrow, pale green leaves ; the Lady Aster has hitherto been represented by a few colors.
