ASTERS 



ahh. During late summer and fall, 

 the Asters rule the annual garden 

 and make the finest of all flowers for cutting. 

 By sowing several different classes that will come 

 into bloom at different periods, a garden of con- 

 tinued loveliness may be maintained from mid- 

 July until frost. Like most flowers they are most 

 effective when grown in solid beds all of one color. 

 For the largest plants and finest flowers, start the 

 seed indoors or in a hotbed in March. When the 

 plants are 2 or 3 inches high transplant them into 

 small pots or paper dirt bands, and set them out 

 in the garden in May when soil and weather are 

 warm, 10 to 18 inches apart. The seed may also be sown outdoors 

 in May in a fine-prepared seed bed. Cultivate frequently. The 

 different classes are listed according to their season of bloom. ' 



Queen of the Markets Class. These start the Aster season in July. 

 The plants are bushy, branching freely and producing quantities of 

 well-formed flowers.
