HARDY ASTERS 
(Michaelmas Daisy) 
These lovely Fall flowering subjects, which are natives of 
North America and absolutely hardy in any section of the 
country, deserve much more extensive cultivation. The follow- 
ing varieties are well worthy of a place in every garden, since 
they are so distinct in type and novel in colors. The size of the 
flowers may be very greatly increased if the clumps are divided 
each Spring, and each plant grown to a single stem. The cen- 
tral growing tip should be pinched out to induce branching. 
This makes a sturdy plant that requires very little support and 
keeps the height about 3 feet. 
+Beechwood Challenger—Absolutely a true red Aster, very 
fine sturdy grower, attaining a height of about 4 feet. The red 
color shows up in delightful contrast with the bright yellow 
center. Fine bushy upright grower. Absolutely disease resistant. 
Price: 50c each, $4.00 per dozen, $25.00 per 
100. 
1-British Queen—Soft lavender blue, semi-double, unusually 
large, open flowers with pale yellow center. A vigorous grow- 
ing, well branched plant that comes into bloom early Septem- 
ber. Height, about 4 feet. Excellent for cutting and decorative 
work. 
+-Harrington’s Pink—The very handsome pink hardy Aster, 
or Michaelmas Daisy introduced to date. Clear shining pink 
in color, making a magnificent foil for the many handsome 
blue and white varieties already in cultivation. Large flowers 
of bright dainty pink, attaining a height of about two or two 
and a half feet. 
“Mount Everest—A wonderful white Aster. It forms very 
tall, well shaped, pointed pyramids with an abundance of lat- 
eral growths which flower right down to the ground. The 
flowers are large and dead white with a very small eye. Healthy 
foliage. 3-4 feet.
