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
