|ERHAPS for cut flowers no plants are more useful than these, for at the commencement of the- 
summer they begin to bloom and continue doing so as long as the weather keeps open ; like 
all other flowers, to do them well they delight in having plenty of room, deep rich soil, plenty 
of manure, and a good soaking in dry weather ; treat them thus, and the quantities of Aster-shaped 
blooms will be immense all the summer and autumn.
