Late-Branching Aster 
Late Branching Asters 
An outstanding type of Asters for late August and 
September blooming. The plants form strong, well- 
branched bushes, 2 to 2% feet high, bearing on long, 
strong stems their handsome Chrysanthemum-like flow- 
ers. The form of the flowers together with the length 
of the stems place them at the head of Asters for cut- 
ting. They are at their best during September.
