New England Aster

As I was marking Asters in bloom, to harvest the seed later, I came across
a New England Aster with, of course, the purple flowers.  Next to it (like
8 inches) was some sort of white flowered aster.  As I looked at it to
decide if it was something other than the ultra aggressive Flea Bane Daisy,
the leaf pattern/structure and overall plant looked virtually the same as
the New England Aster.
I have several books I use to identify plants, but could not identify any
white Aster.
Am I looking at a New England Aster mutation or something else.?
Probably need a more expansive book to ID plants.  Suggestions?
Area is central ILLinois.
thanks
