HARDY ASTERS (MICHAFLMAS DAISY) 
Easiest to grow of fall blooming perennials, for the border or for cut 
flowers. Because of the marvelous improvement in colors and increased 
size of blooms during recent years they have become increasingly popular. 
Coming in bloom in the autumn months when flowers are scarce they 
furnish a colorful display from August until frost. 
SHIPMENT—April 15 to June 1 
CULTURE—Their culture is very simple. They prefer rich, moist soil and 
full sun. Most of the Novae-Belgi varieties are rampant growers and 
should be divided every two or three years for best results, Some of the 
tall types should be staked. Cutting the tops of tall growing varieties 
will keep them lower and promote better branching. Do not pinch back 
after July 10. Strong well-rooted plants, guaranteed to bloom the first 
season.
