Aster Frikarti 

Aster + Michaelmas Daisy 
Provide a wealth of bloom in September 
and October, and are as invaluable as chrys- 
anthemums. Splendid for borders and also 
for naturalizing m woodland plantings. They 
thrive anywhere but have a preference for 
sandy loam and a dislike for overcrowding. 
The dwarf varieties provide much-needed fall 
color in the rock-garden.
