ASTERS 
The aster is one of the finest annual garden flow¬

flowers it is always delightful. Asters are very

of sunshine. For early flowers seed should be 
started indoors.

PUT BEAUTY

All my flower seeds are grown by flower seed 
growers who have specialized in the growing of 
good seeds. It takes years of special work to 
build up different strains of plants that will produce 
the very best flowers that can be grown. Seeds 
marked “A” or annual bloom the first year and 
must be sown again every year. Seeds marked "P” 
or perennials are hardy and will continue for a 
number of years, some of them not blooming until 
the second year.
