ASTERS 
ASTERS are now one of the most important summer

and world-wide demand shows their adaptability 
to any soil or climate, there being early, medium 
and late flowering sorts which extends the bloom¬ 
ing period from early July until frost. For the 
best results the ground should be very rich. 
Good results can be obtained from ordinary gar¬ 
den soil.
