ASTER. Nat. Ord., Composites. 



This splendid class of plants is not only one of the most popular, but also one of 

 the most effective, of our garden favorites, producing in profusion flowers in 

 which richness and variety of color are combined with the most perfect and 

 beautiful form. It is indispensable in every garden or pleasure-ground where 

 an autumnal display is desired. For flower-beds it stands unrivalled. 



The Aster may be divided into two grand sections, — French and German. The 

 French, as improved by Truffaut, has flat, petal's, either reflexed or incurved, the 

 former resembling the Chrysanthemum; whilst the latter, by turning its petals 

 towards the centre of the flower, forms, when well grown, a perfect ball, and is 

 best described by its resemblance to the Pasony. The German varieties are 

 quilled; and the most perfect flowers are surrounded by a circle of flat or guard 

 petals, as in the Hollyhock. The flowers of these are particularly admired for 

 the exquisite symmetry of their form; The dwarf-bouquet varieties of this 

 beautiful germ grow from nine to fifteen inches high, and are particularly 

 adapted for small beds, edging, or for pot-culture. They often flower so pro- 

 fusely as entirely to hide their foliage. All the varieties delight in a rich light 

 soil; and, in hot, dry weather, should be mulched with well-rotted manure, and 

 frequently supplied with manure-water. This labor will be amply compensated 

 by the increased size, beauty, and duration of the flowers. Half-hardy annuals.
