NEW DWARF HYBRID ASTERS 
These new dwarf asters are invaluable for the rock

NEW DOUBLE ASTERS, Michaelmas Daisies 
Two hybrid asters developed in our own grounds have 
proven so popular with our vistors that we have decided 
to offer them this year for the first time. These asters 
open fully double like tiny roses, showing no center at 
all. However, as the flowers get older they open wide, 
showing the center. When first opened the plants 
present a most delightful picture, being of soft warm 
pastel shades on well branched 3' bushes, and the extra 
petalage gives a striking effect.
