C'T'pjDC The general beauty of these annual flowers 

 ^ ■ 1-«IV.*^ it is unecessary to mention ; the immense 

 world-wide demand for them shows their adaptability for 

 any climate ; and coming into blossom, as they do, when 

 most other flowers are fading away, enhances their value. 

 The ground for the cultivation of Asters cannot be too richly 

 prepared, and the plants should never be allowed to receive 

 a check, but should continue to grow on uninterruptedly to 

 produce fine flowers. Sow in shallow boxes in greenhouse, 

 hot-bed or light windows in temperature of 60 degrees, 

 cover seeds to a dept of about four times their size, press 

 down with a board, water with a fine spray and do not allow 

 to dry out. Transplant when three or four leaves are de- 

 veloped, and plant out when danger of frost is over. May 

 also be sown in open ground when danger of frost is past.
