Asters 
No garden flowers of the late summer and fall surpass the 
beautiful annual Asters. They are not difficult to grow 
if the soil is well-drained, somewhat sandy, and enriched 
with a complete fertilizer and a little air-slaked lime. 
Frequent cultivation and a sunny location is recom¬ 
mended. For those varieties not wilt-resistant, it is better 
to change the place of planting each year. Asters may 
be sown in late April out of doors where they are to 
bloom, but for early flowers, start indoors in March.
