ASTERS, NEW DWARF VARIETIES (RG) 
These new Dwarf Asters, recently imported from England, have become 
amazingly popular, because they are neat in habit, the foliage is attractive, 
and come into bloom when the garden is practically void of color, thus being 
especially valuable for the rock garden. They are profuse bloomers, truly 
dwarf, rarely exceeding one foot in height, and perfectly hardy.
