®New Dwarf Asters 
These Asters are one of the finest introductions of 
recent years, and, flowering at a time when there is 
a scarcity of low-growing plants, they give promise 
of becoming very popular. 
Rarely exceeding 1 foot in height, they are com¬ 
pletely covered with flowers during September, 
forming a mound of blossom 12 to 18 inches through. 
They are an acquisition to the front of the border
