HARDY ASTERS 
The many species, widely distinct from each 
other in habit and form, are, with a few excep¬ 
tions, all native of North America. It is in 
Europe, however, that our Asters have been 
most highly appreciated. Many improve¬ 
ments have been made by European growers, 
and many hybrid forms have been produced 
by crossing the different species.

very large flower-heads. A splendid and 
most desirable color for the fall garden or
