ASTERS, h.h.a. 
It has few superiors for cutting and ranks 
with the best annuals for bedding. For early 
flowers sow in frames during March and 
April, while for late flowering, seed may be 
sown in the open ground in May. They prefer 
a sunny location, rich soil and, if possible, 
avoid planting them on the same place two 
years in succession. 
The varieties marked W.R. are Wilt- 
resistant.
