THE NEW DWARF PERENNIAL ASTERS 
This new race of Michaelmas Daisies fills a long felt need,for 
a low growing, colorful perennial that blooms in autumn. It was 
obtained by crossing Aster Novi-Belgi with Aster Dumosa, and the 
result is a plant not more than a foot high which is covered with 
flowers as large as those borne by the tall fall asters. So thickly do 
the flowers grow that the stems and foliage are entirely hidden and 
in September the plants become mounds of color, making them 
ideal rock plants. They are perfectly hardy and may be trans¬ 
planted even when in full flower.
