LITTLE SILVER, NEW JERSEY 
Hardy Perennials 11 
New Dwarf Hybrid Border Asters 
We are pleased and honored to 
introduce to our patrons this season 
a new collection of Dwarf Hybrid 
Asters, compact, free-flowering, and 
blooming when few other plants are 
in blossom. These Asters seldom 
exceed 1 foot in height, and during 
their September blooming period 
they are literally covered with flow¬ 
ers for a considerable time. They 
are good edging perennials, excellent 
for grouping in front of borders, and 
simply ideal for the rock garden.
