Asters Like "Running Start" 
Florists should have greater success with asters if they give 
them a "running start" on the season. In other words, asters 
need a longer season than the majority of the popular flowers 
of this area, and it has been found beneficial to plant them 
inside sometime after mid-March. 
The young plants should be transplanted when they have grown 
large enough to be easily handled and when the ground and 
climate have become warm. Treated in this manner they should 
bloom comparatively early. 
Aster—Wilt-Resistant (New) "Peach Blossom" 
ASTERS 
Bodger's True "Rot or Wilt-Resistant" Strains. 
SPECIAL NOTE! Growers contemplating Aster production for cut- 
flowers will, we believe, find it much to their advantage to confine 
exclusively to the "wilt resistant" strains. The small difference in cost 
of seed as against the "regular" quality is of little moment as compared 
to possible difference in crop results. 
12 "Resistant Strain" Asters that are considered to be really worth 
while, both for the florist grower and home garden planter as well.
