ASTER - Dumosus Hybrids 
The new dwarf Asters are unquestionably among the most 
worth while plants that have recently come to us from Eng¬ 
land. Very neat in habit with attractive foliage and in Sep¬ 
tember and October are graced with hundreds of blooms of 
the most delicate shades of lavender, pink and lilac. Not one 
person who saw them growing in our nurseries but admired 
them and purchased some. 
They rarely exceed one foot in height and during the bloom¬ 
ing period in September the plants are completely covered 
with blossoms. They are exceptionally valuable for the edg¬ 
ing or for grouping in the front of borders and are also 
charming for the rock garden, coming at a time when the 
rock garden is void of flowers. They have been tested for 
three years in our nurseries and we as well as all those who 
have seen them proclaim these new things to be of excep¬ 
tional value and merit. Perfectly hardy and grow most any¬ 
where in any reasonably good garden soil.
