. Mixed Asters—| Size ASTERS Chrysanthemum-like flowers em-passed by no plant in beauty. They vary in color from a dehcate pink and white to deep reds and purples. The plants thrive best in rich soil, but with sufficient moisture will give satisfaction in almost any garden plot, and blossom in profusion for 90 days or till late in the Autumn, proving a constant delight even after other flowers have been killed by frost. They are especially adapted to house decoration, and when cut and placed in water hold their regal heads erect from one to two weeks without withering. A bed of Asters in the garden or on the lawn ineffective and beautiful for months, providing more cut flowers than any other plants occupying the same space. Try Landreths' Asters this year and see how unusually fine they are. Good as any offered under more florid descrip- tions. 8 to 20 inches high. Asters are by far the most satisfactory open garden flowering plants during Midsummer and Autumn. Branching Asters We cannot recommend the Branching too highly. They come into flower a few weeks before Chrys- anthemums and closely resemble small ones. The best Asters for cutting. White, lavender, pink, crimson, purole, mixed colors. 20 inches 10 Crego's Giants.—Very early and constant bloom- ers, after the style of Queen of Market, but larger flowered. Mixed colors 10 ( 83 (Prices per Packet) Christmas Tree.—A freely flowering class of Asters. The form and habit is quite different from other varieties and resembles so nearly a miniature Christmas tree that it was given this name. Plants grow about 15 inches high, branching freely and regularly, not upright but horizontally. Flowers medium size, perfectly double and finely imbricated. Plants very often have over 80 blooms. Mixed 15 Giant Comet.—Immense flowers, often 6 inches diameter; good form and growth. White, dark blue, hght blue, crimson, sulphur-yellow, rose.
