4 CARROLL GARDENS 
HARDY FALL ASTERS 
For a brilliant mass of color in the early fall garden, 
as well as for cut flowers for the home, very few plants 
equal the Hardy Asters. They are easily grown in full 
sun in any good average garden soil. The fall-blooming 
varieties are benefited if they are divided and replanted 
every year, or at least every other year.
