which water will stand for a consid- 

 erable period after drenching rains, 

 asters are sure to suffer heavy losses. 

 In a dry summer, low locations prove 

 ideal; when there is abundant moisture, 

 disaster results. The best success is to 

 be had on well drained land with a 

 gentle slope. Of course, it is an ad- 

 vantage to give asters a change of lo- 

 cation each season if possible. Liming 

 the soil in the fall once in two or three 

 years will help to correct soil acidity, 

 damping off and stem rot. 



Asters for an early crop can be sown 

 in late January or early February; these 

 arc to be planted outdoors early in May. 

 Where sales are not made until near^ 

 Memorial day, it would bo advisable to 

 delay sowing until the end of February. 

 They can be sown outdoors for a late 

 crop until the middle of June. Queen 

 of the Market, also called Queen of the 

 Earlies, is best for an early crop, while 

 American Branching, Crego and Vick 's 

 Branching are good for late crops. 

 Seedlings should be given a rather light, 

 but moderately rich soil. C. W. 



RUST ON ASTEB FOLIAGE. 



We should like to know what to do 

 for leaf-rust on our asters in the field. 

 Will you advise us? A. F. C. — Ind. 



For leaf-rust on asters and for all 

 fungoid affections of fruits, flowers and 

 vegetables, it is necessary to use a fun- 

 gicide, and Bordeaux mixture remains 

 the best and most widely used of these 

 remedies. You can prepare Bordeaux 

 yourself or buy it in a dry state. It 

 will be best to spray in the late after- 

 noon or evening and, while one applica- 

 tion may give relief, a second or third 

 spraying may be necessary if the trou- 

 ble is serious. C. W.
