Asters do best in a rich, deep, moist soil. Any good garden 
soil will produce good asters. If plants turn yellow, they should 
be destroyed. This is caused by a small insect. No remedy for 
this is known except to cover the plants so they cannot sting 
them. Dusting plants with bone meal is said to keep them off. 
(This will make the plants grow better if it does not keep off the 
insects). Pull every one that commences to turn yellow.
