Improved forms of our native asters, most 
of which flower in late summer. Valuable 
for semi-wild garden or the hardy border. 
Do best if divided and lifted every other 
year. Spray in summer with Bordeaux or 
Triogen if rust appears on the under side 
of the leaves. Full sun or light shade. Any 
good soil. All are fine if well grown. ““N.B.”

from the ground; ““N.A.” the New England
