NIOBE DWARF ASTER 
There is a world of difference in perennial plants. Those grown thickly in beds make 
spindly, weak plants with poor roots. Our perennials are big, transplanted, hardy 
plants that were grown in the fields in wide rows, with plenty of room for both tops 
and roots. Such plants naturally cost a great deal more to grow, but THEY ARE 
WORTH MUCH MORE. They live better, grow better and bloom better. 
All perennials on pages 52, 53, 54 and 55 are priced the same. 
Varieties, alike or assorted, your choice. Postpaid. 
Each 25c, 5 for $1.00, 12 for $2.00
