Asters 
Asters are one of the most satis¬ 
factory flowers to grow providing 
they are given good soil and a suit¬ 
able location. From mid-summer un¬ 
til after freezing weather they will 
make a gorgeous showing in the 
garden and at the same time give 
you some wonderful bouquets. 
The main points to observe in 
growing good Asters are good varie¬ 
ties, good seed, good deep rich soil, 
and so located that the soil around 
them can be kept continually culti¬ 
vated. They also seem to prefer a 
little partial shade. 
EARLY AMERICAN BEAUTY ASTERS 
—A very popular new type of un¬

The flowers are globe-shaped with 
long, wide, incurved petals. The 
plants grow to immense height, 
making long, strong, clean stems
