Beauty Asters 
This is one of the finest American Asters, coming 
into bloom late in September and lasting way into 
October. Often the plants produce their finest flowers 
after we have had some light frost. The plants grow 
nearly 3 feet high. They are vigorous and strong 
branching, bearing very large round blooms which are 
completely double to the very center. The outer 
petals reflex and the center ones curve gracefully 
inward. A magnificent Aster for both garden display 
and for cutting.
