Annual. Asters should have an open, sunny position, and prefer a good, heavy, loamy soil 
enriched with Bone Dust; we do not advise growing them on the same ground two years in 
succession. For early flowering seeds should be started in a sunny window, hotbed or coldframe 
in April and transferred to the garden as soon as danger of frost has gone by. Midseason and late 
types may be sown outside in May, thinning out to 1 foot in the rows and 2 feet between. 
Giant Sunshine Asters 
EARLY WONDER. We consider this the 
earliest Aster in our list, flowering in early 
July from seeds sown in the open ground at 
the end of April, or, if sown indoors in 
March, can be had in bloom before the 
close of June. The flowers are of good size, 
quite double, and are borne on good, long, 
stiff stems, which, added to their extremely 
early flowering, makes them of great value 
for cutting.

and bear blossoms on long, stiff stems, admi¬ 
rable for cutting. The individual blooms are 
enormous, 4 to 5 and 6 inches in diameter. 
The grace and beauty of build, with cushiony 
centers of tubular bifurcate florets and the 
rim of exquisitely pointed out-guard florets 
surrounding the central disk, make for a lace¬ 
like perfection and daintiness of form and 
contour that must appeal to the most 
aesthetic taste. An improved strain.
