WHOLESALE LIST FOR FLORISTS, LANDSCAPERS AND NURSERYMEN 
Hardy Asters 
Michaelmas Daisies 
For a grand show of flowers the Hardy Asters throughout the fall months are 
in a class by themselves. The assortment of varieties in cultivation today is such 
that you can have them in your garden ranging in height from six inches to three 
feet. This variation in the growth of the different varieties makes it possible for 
you to have Asters either for a border around a perennial planting or for the 
center of your perennial bed. In addition to their beauty in garden plantings, the 
taller varieties are suitable for cutting purposes as they make up well with various 
other fall flowers.
