around worth has become practically inestimable. Today's range of varieties includes plants of splendid form,

only upon the quantity grown.

BLUE CLOUD. A new, late blooming variety which 
helps extend the flowering season into late fall, when 
some flowers have already succumbed to the touch of 
frost. The blooms on this Aster have remarkable re- 
sistance to freezing temperatures. Plants grow 3 feet 
high in rounded upright clumps of fluffy light green 
foliage which become almost entirely covered with sin- 
gle soft lavender blue flowers with yellow centers. An 
excellent variety for cutting as it harmonizes beautifully 
with late flowering Chrysanthemums.

ROSE CLOUD. A little more spreading in growth than 
Blue Cloud, but otherwise similar in habit. The attrac-

in graceful sprays, making them ideal for use in floral 
arrangements. A very good companion to grow with 
Blue Cloud as they both flower at the same time.
