ANNUAL — Blooms June to October — CULTURE "A" 
Asters will thrive in most any situation, but prefer one in which they get the morning sun. 
It is well to remember that any extra care taken in the preparation of the soil is repaid by finer 
plants, larger blooms with longer stems, and more profuse flowering. They should have an open 
position, and prefer a good, heavy loamy soil, enriched with a liberal quantity of bone meal, or 
garden fertilizer. When wanted for cutting with long stems they should be set out not closer than 
12 inches apart in rows. 
The varieties offered represent the finest Asters introduced to date including many of the new 
wilt-resistant varieties that make Asters easy to grow, and they should be in every garden where 
high quality is appreciated. 
The early sorts begin blooming in July, followed by the midseason varieties, which are usually 
at their best in August and September. 
To destroy the black Aster beetle, which is the Aster’s worst enemy, use arsenate of lead.
