ites for border planting. If sown in summer, plants will be 
ready by autumn for transplanting to the border to flower 
the next spring. Height 1 to 3 feet.

ASTERS 
Of the general beauty of these flowers it is unnecessary 
to speak; the immense world-wide demand for them shows 
their adaptability for any climate; and coming into bloom 
as they do, when most other flowers are fading away, en¬ 
hances their value. 
The main essentials to insure fine Asters are a new rich 
soil, frequent cultivation, no check to their growth from 
start to finish and ample room to develop. When wanted 
for cutting with long stems they should be set out not 
closer than 12 inches apart in the rows and 2 feet between 
the rows. When wanted for mass effects in beds they may 
be planted 9 inches to a foot apart each -way.

or they vary in shades of Enchantress-pink, Appleblossom,
