Late-Branching Aster 



Late Branching Asters 



An outstanding type of Asters for late August and 

 September blooming. The plants form strong, well- 

 branched bushes, 2 to 2% feet high, bearing on long, 

 strong stems their handsome Chrysanthemum-like flow- 

 ers. The form of the flowers together with the length 

 of the stems place them at the head of Asters for cut- 

 ting. They are at their best during September.
