^^ardy c^^sters 
The Hardy Aster or Michaelmas Daisies 
make such a lavish display of bloom in Sep' 
tember and October that they are considered 
indispensable to the hardy border. Their ease 
of culture, freedom from insects and disease, 
and their perfect hardiness make them ideal 
border plants. We are listing varieties which 
we have chosen from many hundreds as rep¬ 
resenting the cream of the crop. Every va¬ 
riety desirable and worth while. 
In order to keep Hardy Asters blooming 
freely divide and replant every spring and 
you will be rewarded with thousands of 
flowers on neat plants.
