ASTERS 
The hardy asters are rapidly forging ahead in 
importance and no garden of hardy plants today is 
at all complete without them, while a few varieties 
bloom in May and June the great bulk of the family 
are late summer or fall bloomers. In the past few 
years there have been some splendid varieties pro¬ 
duced abroad, the bulk in England but some on the 
European continent, very few have been raised in 
America although European hybridizers had to de¬ 
pend on our native varieties to produce the many 
hybrids sent to us for many years. The new dwarf 
asters are indispensable in gardens, they are very 
compact and floriferous. All varieties are absolutely 
hardy and spring planting is much the best for all of 
them. Some striking new varieties are contained in 
the list following.
