ASTER, HARDY. These were deriv- 
ed from the roadside fall asters, and 
their flowers are of the same shape, 
but hybridizers have developed plants 
of much more desirable characteris- 
tics and have brought out colors and 
shades unknown in their wild cous- 
ins. For bright spots in the fall bor-

dispensable. The dwarf varieties al-

hardy and require little care.

“You will be glad to know that the package of iris was delivered safely to 
us after we left Frisco. We sailed Friday noon. I have opened them and 
found only one tiny speck of mold on one. They look in fine condition, and 
if my memory serves me at all well I think you have sent me some exception- 
ally fine varieties. I do so love flowers and shall greatly enjoy helping these 
to grow for the pleasure of the Chinese as well as ourselves, for they are 
great lovers of flowers, too.” S. S. President Coolidge, en route to China. 
(Note: These were dug Aug. 1 and were finally planted in Hunan Province, 
China, in December.)
