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. H. means Wilt-Resistant — resistant to the destructive Wilt disease. We 

 offer all that have been bred so far, and will add more as tliey are developed. 



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 out- 

 door 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.
