Giant Emperor Aster. Each plant on an average produces from ten to twenty flowers; the habit 
is that of an elegant pyramid, 21 to 24 inches high.

Sow Aster seed in April and May, in pans, or on a spent hot-bed in drills 6 inches asunder ; when 
the plants are 1 inch high prick out into a cold frame, or under hand-glasses, 3 or 4 inches apart, 
from whence they can be planted out when 4 inches high ; select showery weather for planting 
out, when the ground is in good working order ; plant out in rows 1 foot apart each way. To grow 
Asters to perfection a rich soil is indispensable, and during dry weather should be watered, and a 
top-dressing of well-rotted manure applied early in August.
