tASTERS 
Asters are among the most popular 
and easily grown of all of our annuals. 
By making a sowing of each of the 
various sorts, a continuance of flow- ^ 
ers may be had from early Summer 
until frost. For early flowers, sow f' 
the seed in house or greenhouse dur- / 
ing March or April and transplant 
to the open ground in May. For late 
flowers, which are the finest, sow 
thinly in the open ground early in May, 
transplanting as soon as plants are 
large enough. Half hardy annuals.
