it is admirably suited for beds, edgings, pots, &o.

CULTIVATION OF ASTERS. 
Cultivation— Asters form one of the chief attractions in all gardens in which annuals are grown. They are procurable in every colour from white to 
deep crimson, are very easy to raise from seed, and give a glorious display of bloom in Autumn after many other plants have ceased to flower. 
Asters are alike useful for borders and as cut flowers, the single kinds being of especial value for the latter purpose. The seed should bo sown in 
March or April in boxes of good rich soil, and treated in' the same manner as other half-hardy annuals ; give plenty of room between the plants, and place 
the boxes in a sunny position ufider glass, allowing abundance of air and water ; after about threo weeks remove the boxes to a frame where the fights 
can be lifted off during the day, and so gradually harden the plants in readiness for their removal to the borders. The greatest care should be exercised 
in transplanting from the boxes, so as to ensure the seedlings getting a good start. For a succession of flowers seed may be sown at the latter end of Apri I 
in the open border where they are to bloom. Good sturdy plants may be raised by this method, and will give a supply of late flowers, until the frost 
tUt3 Asters°re 3 pond readily to liberal treatment although they will thrive in any good garden soil. An excellent position for them is on beds or borders 
whioh have been well trenched and liberally manured early in the season. Occasional waterings with weak manure water will be found of great 
benefit when the plants are developing their blooms. Such treatment gives substance to the flowers and extends the penod of blooming. Where the 
space is available, it is an excellent plan to grow beds in the kitchen garden of separate colours of Asters specially for cutting puiyoses. Such varieties 
as Giant Ostrich Plume, Improved Comet, and the Single Sinensis will be found admirable for this purpose, and a supply for the house will be at hand 
without spoiling the effect of the beds. When only one kind can be grown we should strongly recommend our customers to try our Giant Ostnch Flume 
as being in our opinion the most delightful of all the doubles. The flowers which are very largo, are bome on tall graceful stems often 18 inches long, and 
the oolours are most distinct and varied. Ostrich Plume are quite as easily grown as the ordinary sorts. ... , 
Our Large-flowered Comet, while not growing quite so tall as the former, gives large, beautiful flowers, and is of great value both for bedding and 
cutting purposes. The perfect type of Dwarf Bedding Aster is found in our Dwarf Perfection, which forms an ideal edging to a bed of taller kinds, or 
ia equally effeotive in a bed by itself.
