Micheu s Distinctive Quality is now here more prominent than with our Asters, and we can recc m nend them with the utmost confidence 
to produce tre verv best results. Our seed is grown from plants which are free from disease. 
•j ®^ECIAL NOTE. In growing Asters, old soil and flats should never be used the second time without thoroughly sterilizing, to 
avoid the m nacrous diseases to which Asters are so susceptible; barnyard manure should never be employed as a fertilizer;'we recommend 
the use of finely ground bone meal. Asters should not be grown in the same location two years in succession.
