FALL ASTERS 
Michaelmas Daisies 
The magic of the hybridizers here 
and in Europe has developed Fall 
Asters to exotic sizes and hues. 
Highly colorful and pleasing, they 
continue to bloom late in fall when 
color is so much needed and ap- 
preciated in the garden. Iron-hardy. 
Can be relied on in good weather 
and bad, coming through storm and 
torrent so the flowers are as lovely as 
ever a twinkling after a downpour. 
For best results with tall varieties, 
limit each clump to one or two good 
shoots. Blooms are excellent for 
cutting and outdoor display. The 
variation in sizes makes Fall Asters 
popular for both taller backgrounds 
and lower borders.

and showy.

a long period of time. . . yet requires an absolute 
minimum of care. Each plant is a mound of light 
blue from early August to September and right up

cold sections, but you will be well repaid for this 
little extra effort.
