Hardy Asters 



Michaelmas Daisies 



These late-flowering border plants have been so 

 greatly improved in size and color that they are alto- 

 gether invaluable for massing and general border deco- 

 ration. Flowering at a period when the farly frosts 

 have destroyed the more tender kinds, their bright hues 

 with those of the chrysanthemums, are dominant fea- 

 tures in the garden.
