Hardy Asters, or Michaelmas Daisies 
These lovely, Fall-flowering subjects, which are natives of North America and abso¬ 
lutely hardy in any section of the country, deserve very much more extensive culture. The 
following varieties are the cream of the most famous collection in Europe. 
We will be pleased to give recommendations as to which are the best varieties to grow 
for particular purposes. 
Varieties of the Novae-Angliae or the Novi-Belgii type furnish the finest varieties 
to grow for cutting in long sprays.
