In preparing your Aster 
beds, work a few shovels 
full of hard wood ashes 
up in the soil; it is a 
splendid fertilizer and 
helps destroy the insects 
at the roots, which so 
often spoil a fine bed of 
Asters. Don't plant 
• Asters in the same beds 
two or three years 
straight running; change 
the position.
