ASTERS 
The Aster’s vigor and ease of culture are importe 
ant factors of its popularity. Plants from seed sown 
in the open ground in May bloom finely in Septem- 
ber and October, when the flowers are seen at 
their best. For July and August flowers sow 
in March or April, in coldframes, spent hote- 
bed, or pots or boxes in the house. Cover 
—y ‘the seed about half an inch deep with 
rich, light soil, and when the plants have 
three or four leaves transplant about 18 
; inches apart each way into well-prepared 
» beds. Manures too fresh or used in too 
q large quantities sometimes induce dis- 
















ease in Asters. When used they should 
be thoroughly well decayed and mixed 
with the soul.
