Boundlessly useful, for the border for spotting in 
shrub plantings, and particularly, for filling in

SILVER QUEEN, (Martin’s Selection). This will 
dry just like Silver King. It is bushy and carries

Silver Queen and more desirable than Silver 
King in many instances.

There are no Seedling, Liners, 
or Sliver Cut Divisions consid- 
ered in this book. In every in- 
stance, you receive a whole 
plant at full maturity. A young 
clump is the grade! 
that the Asters are. 
But, do we, m our familiarity, consider each season 
ALL that they can do for us? Or, do we react passively as we would nod 
to an old friend? 
Gather these thoughts, then let your imagination work with them a bit. 
THE COLORS — the brightest whites, pinks, reds, blues. 
ING PERIODS — from May to November. 
CHARACTERISTICS — foliaged the deepest, decorative 
dium and tall. 
THE FLOWER- 
THE HEIGHTS — low, me- 
green, bloom and bloom and bloom, grow generously in any soil, any 
location, completely hardy. 
Can you think of a better cut flower family for the catch-cash crops? Can 
the Asters be missing from any well-planned border planting? 
Will they 
pay as prompt merchandisers out of pots, beds, baskets, etc.? Answers: 
NO - NO - YES! 
This is a top list of the newest forms; the plants that you receive will be 
fully developed field grown, no stripping, dug and shipped fresh from 
the rows.
