color needed to blend in so many gardens. Height, 
4 ft. 3 for $1. 

Now is a splendid time to observe the need for color where Fall Asters are 
ideal. And it is the ideal season to order and plant, for a prolific mass of 
garden color and an abundance of cut flowers next fall. From the rampant 
wild Asters of the fields, patient horticultural skill has brought to American 
gardens these modern beauties, so easy to grow, with immense flowers and 
brilliant colors for a splendid autumn display and pleasing cut flower 
arrangements. You cannot fully appreciate them until you grow them.
