Asters 
Good plantsmen always think fondly of the grand horticultural family 
that Asters are. 
ALL that they can do for us? 
to an old friend? 
But, do we, in our familiarity, consider each season 
Or, de we react passively as we would nod 
Gather these thought, 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.? 
NO - NO - YES!
