(Aster Plants. See page 47.) 
The asters are now among the most interesting, beauti¬ 
ful and satisfactory of flowers; late years have added 
charming new colors and gigantic size to the kinds now 
being grown in this country. They thrive and flower 
throughout the entire summer and there is hardly a prettier 
sight than a bed of asters in full bloom. The aster is of 
easy culture and when started from seed should be sown 
in March or April in the hotbed, greenhouse, or in boxes, 
and when the plants have three or four leaves transplant 
to the open, 18 inches apart each way.

Wilt is a disease which causes much trouble to aster
