NOTICE 
Do not plant Asters 
where you had them 
last year. They should 
be in a new spot in 
your garden e v e r y

peated in the same soil 
year after year the soil 
becomes diseased and 
your Asters will have 
what is known as The 
Aster Yellows. Wood 
ashes, slaked lime or 
tobacco dust incorpor¬ 
ated with the soil will 
do m u c h to prevent 
root and stem diseases 
to which Asters are 
liable.
