ASTERS (Callistephus) □ 
(Normal germination, 5-10 days) 
Chrysanthemum-like flowers, not surpassed in 
beauty by any plant. They thrive best in rich 
soil, and with sufficient moisture, will give satis¬ 
faction in almost any garden, and blossom in 
profusion for about 6 weeks or until killed by 
frost. A supply of Asters may be had from July 
until frost, by planting an early variety like 
Queen of the Market, followed by a later sort 
such as American Branching. To insure early 
blooming, seeds may be sown under glass in April 
and then transplanted to outside beds after all 
danger from frost is over. We owe our garden 
Asters to China and Japan. 
Landreths’ American Branching (Also known as 
Vick’s Branching.)—We cannot recommend the 
American Branching type too highly. They 
closely resemble small Chrysanthemums. Very 
free blooming, producing flowers of the broad- 
petaled type, slightly incurved and very lasting. 
Handsome double flowers borne on long stems, a 
free brancher and unsurpassed in merit. 24 
inches tall.
