HARDY ASTERS 
THE HARDY ASTERS (Michaelmas Daisies) are out- 
standing and valuable plants, decorating the garden 
with many colors in shades of blue, purple, lavender, 
red, pink and white in late summer and autumn, when 
most plants have finished blooming. Low growing 
varieties, 6 to 12 inches high, make ideal edging plants 
and are very suitable for the Rock Garden. Other 
varieties, ranging in height from 1 to 5 feet, are ex- 
cellent for the border and background. Not only are 
the HARDY ASTERS suitable for the garden, they are 
also very useful for cutting and decorative purposes— 
each plant having many branches covered with daisy- 
like blooms. 
CULTURE 
Hardy Asters are one of the hardiest perennials, and 
will grow in any ordinary garden soil. They should 
be divided every year or two into small clumps if the 
best results are desired. Any of the tall varieties may 
be kept much lower by trimming or pinching the plants, 
same as Mums, during the growing season. This will 
also induce the plant to grow more compact. 
OUR GUARANTEE 
All plants are strong, freshly dug, or in 2x3 plant 
bands. We GUARANTEE all Asters to bloom this year. 
If plants are not satisfactory when received, return 
them at once and your money will be refunded.
