MAULE’S BEAUTIFUL ASTERS 
With its many and varied forms, its wide range of color, and its real beauty, 
the aster is deservedly one of the most popular flowers we have. By planting 
early, midseason and late varieties you may have asters from June to frost. 
W. R. means Wilt-Resistant—resistant to the destructive wilt disease. 
offer all that have been bred so far, and will add more as they are developed.

WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA 
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. The location | 
of the aster bed should be changed every year. Z
