Perennial Asters

Fall flowering Hardy Asters or Michael- 
mas Daisies are among the showiest of 
our late flowering hardy plants, giving a 
wealth of bright bloom in late summer and 
fall, when most other perennials are past 
blooming. They grow strong and bushy, 
from two to five feet high, according to 
variety, covering the plants with their pro- 
fuse and constant bloom. For best effect, 
Hardy Asters should be planted in masses, 
using at least three plants of one variety.

in a sunny position, often flowering in the 
summer, and when cut back, produce a con- 
tinuous mass of bloom again in late summer 
and autumn.
