Ray or King Asters 
ASTERS 
One of the most popular and effective of our garden favorites, producing flowers in profusion 
in which richness and variety of colors are combined with the most perfect and beautiful forms, 
and are indispensable in every garden, or pleasure-ground. As a cut flower it rivals the Chrysan- 
themum in beauty and diversity of form and color, and remains firm and fresh for days. They 
are easily grown, very hardy, and offer themselves for use at a time when other garden favorites 
are gone. They delight in a rich, light soil; and in hot, dry weather should be mulched with rotted 
manure and well-watered, which will increase their beauty and duration of flowers. 
Start in cold frame or boxes in the house and transplant to garden when the ground warms up. 
Branching Asters 
RAY OR KING ASTERS 
Quite a unique type of the annual Aster. The 
flowers, which are very large, often 5 in. across, 
are produced on long stalks, and have prettily 
arranged quilled petals. Fine for cutting, as they 
last a week in water if cut before fully expanded.
