Asters 
The Queen of the Annuals 
The Aster is the most popular fall flower 
grown, and justly so because of its easy culture, 
season of bloom, and lasting qualities, both in 
the garden and as a cut-flower. To cut Asters 
abundantly as long as possible, several sowings 
should be made of the early, midseason, and 
late-flowering types. To succeed with Asters, 
sow the seed in flats in the house or hotbed in 
March, transplant the seedlings, 2 inches apart, 
in boxes, when they are large enough to handle, 
and move to permanent beds in May. Make 
the second sowing in the coldframe the latter 
part of April, and the third the latter part of 
May. Set the plants of early varieties 10 inches 
apart, and of later varieties 18 inches apart. 
The richer the ground the better your flowers 
will be, and water is very necessary.
