Garden Asters 
(Michaelmas Daisy) 
In the autumn, when the fall colors have 
glorified our New England countryside, who

along the road? The following are im- 
proved varieties especially adapted for our 
fall gardens. Most are medium to tall grow- 
ing, with large flowers running through the

Chrysanthemum 
KOREAN HYBRIDS 
The Hybrid Korean group was developed 
from the species Chrysanthemum coreanum, 
a hardy, rugged, Daisy-like form native to 
Korea and Siberia. The hybrids have not 
only acquired much of its vigor and sturdi- 
ness, but have given us many lovely color 
tints that are new to Chrysanthemums. 
They are especially welcome to New Eng- 
land gardens because they are a hardier 
type and bloom earlier.
