for planting, when the ground is in good 
working order ; plant out in rows 1 foot 
apart each way. To grow Asters to per- 
fection a rich deep soil is indispensable, 
and during dry weather they should be 
watered, and a top dressing of well-rotten 
manure applied early in August. Be 
very particular that they are always tho- 
roughly free from insects when they ore
