ASTERS 
(Schoenkranz, Aster.) 
This flower is not only one of the most popular, but also one of the most effective of our garden 
favorites, producing flowers of great richness and variety of color, in the most perfect and beautiful 
form during the late summer and early fall. They bear a striking resemblance to Chrysanthemums 
and are fully as useful for cut flowers. 
If Asters are grown in the same spot a few times, they are apt to be attacked by a disease that turns 
them yellow before they flower. They should be grown in a different bed each year and if the seed is 
treated first with Semesan, this trouble will be reduced. Sometimes ants carry Aphides to the roots and 
cause the plants to turn yellow and die. More large flowers will be produced if the center bud on the 
main stalk is pinched out as soon as noticed. 
The recent development of Asters in California has placed them in a class with the finest and most 
satisfactory flowers we can have in our gardens.
