ASTER. 
Since the introduction of this beautiful g-arden Flower into England 
by the late Mr. James Carter, about the year 1830, continuous skilful 
cultivation has produced the present developments in form and colour. 
The whole group nny be described as half-i-iardv annuals, the seeds being best sown 
under glass in early spring, and the seedlings [rricked out into boxes or in frames for planting 
out or potting as the occasion requires, when they are ready about June. 
The Aster in its various tall and dwarf forms makes a grand Bedding I’lant, as its fullest 
beauty appears when the ordinary summer flowers are beginning to look rusty. 'I'he blooms 
are freely produced and last long, and are effective until spoilt by the frosts of autumn. The 
magnificent Ray varieties, see page 149; White Plume, see page 15-2; Victoria, see page 150, 
and the fashionable Single types on page 151, together with the Comet and Chry.santhemum- 
fiowered types described below, should be largely grown in every garden.
