to do it, but also shows you the “why and wherefore” of 
every gardening operation. It deepens your understand-

Masterpiece Asters' 
W HEN the earlier summer flowers are waning, and the garden be- 
gins to lose some of its bright masses of color, it begins its bloom- 
ing — modestly at first, till when the garden is bereft of most all its 
bright blossoms, it bursts into a perfect riot of bloom. Pink, white, 
blue, crimson and rose, it makes the brown beds gay with its glory. 
And such blossoms! Perfect in shape, immense in size, extremely 
double, with extra long, sturdy stems rising from the midst of its 
rich, green foliage. 
Well grown Masterpiece Asters grow three feet high, branch freely 
and are healthy, vigorous bloomers, producing on each plant from ten 
to twelve perfectly double and elegantly shaped blossoms measuring 
from five to six inches across, on stems two to two and a half feet long, 
beside a goodly number of flowers not so large but quite as perfect in 
form and beauty. They begin blooming in late August and continue 
uninterruptedly through September and October. For cutting, in beds, 
in borders or anywhere, these Asters cannot be surpassed.
