Of the general beauty of these annual flowers it is un¬ 
necessary to mention ; the immense world-wide de¬ 
mand for them shows their adaptability for any 
climate ; and coming into blossom, as they do, when 
most other flowers are fading away, enhances their 
value. The ground for the cultivation of Asters can¬ 
not be too richly prepared, and the plants should 
never be allowed to receive a check, but should con¬ 
tinue to grow on uninterruptedly to produce fine 
flowers.
