ASTERS 
ASTERS are now one of the most important summer 
and autumn flowers. Their immense popularity 
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 ear- 
den soil.

ered with snowflakes. The blue flowers are dotted 
with a paler blue and some in white, and the rose 
in a lighter shade of pink or white. A wonderful
