Asters or China Asters, as they are often called, are easy to grow and give a wonder- 

 ful display of large, showy blooms which are suitable for beds, borders, and for 

 cutting. There are quite a few types to choose from, according to the arrangement 

 and shape of the petals which, compose the large double blooms, and there is also 

 quite some difference in the blooming season. You may select early, mid-season, or 

 late varieties to suit your particular purpose or. better still, plant some of each.
