VAUGHAN'S ASTERS 



Asters are of very easy culture. The seed can be sown in the open 

 groimd in May and the plants will then bloom in September and October. 

 For earlier blooming, seed should be sown in March or April, in cold frame 

 or hot bed, or boxes in the house. Seed should not be covered more than 

 one-quarter inch. 



Asters must not be planted in freshly manured soil nor in soil that 

 has been planted with Asters for two or three years previous. Unslacked 

 lime or fresh wood ashes are beneficial if stirred in the soil a little before 

 the planting.
