ASTER. 



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 rich- 

 ness 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 and mixed borders, it stands 

 unrivalled. Asters delight in a deep, rich soil ; and, dur- 

 ing the hot weather, mulching with coarse manure is very 

 beneficial. For early blooming, sow in a hot-bed ; and for 

 late, in the seed-bed in the garden; and transplant, in 

 moist weather, the larger varieties about ten inches apart, 

 and the smaller six. If supplied liberally with guano- 

 water as they advance in size, they will abundantly re- 

 ward the cultivator in the increased size and beauty of 

 their flowers. Half-hardy annuals.
