Barteldes Asters 
The Aster has received a great deal of attention at the hands of the seed growers and the improvement 
in this wonderfully popular flower has been marked. No garden is complete without a nice bed of Asters. 
They do best in a rich, loamy soil in an open, sunny situation. It is best however in the Middle West where 
the summers are very hot and dry to give them a little shade. They should be watered and cultivated 
frequently so there will be no check in their growth and by all means give each plant plenty of room. 
They should never be set closer than a foot apart and a little more room is beneficial. Start the seeds either 
in the house or early in the garden and transplant when two or three inches high. We offer some of the very 
best seed to be had and we are sure you will be pleased with the results.
