 flowerb we have. P>om the Asters on this and the two pages following, one may select

 beautiful oneb. He may, by planting early, midseason and late varieties, have Asters 

 in bloom from June to frost. 



Wilt -Resistant Asters are supplied wherever they are Available 



^ Modern plant wizards have given us .A.sters resistant to the destructive Wilt disease. 



^ ■j- These Wilt-Resistant Asters have proved so valuable, that Maule offers all that have 



* so far been bred and will add more as they are developed. 



Asters are Easy to Grow Asters bloom from three to five months after seed is 

 sown, varying with the variety and the climate. By starting the seed indoors, 

 6 weeks before outdoor planting time, earlier blooms may be had. Give your 

 Asters rich, well-drained soil, plenty of moisture and sunshine, and they will 

 repay you. Every year the location of the Aster bed should be changed.
