Plant Wilt Resistant Asters , Save Disappointments 
Aster Giants “Superior Flowers for Your Garden” 
Asters 
Because of their easy culture and vigorous growth. 
Asters are deservedly popular. For blooming in Septem¬ 
ber and October, when they flower at their best, sow the 
seed in the open ground early in May. If earlier blooms 
are wanted, they may be sown in cold-frames or in boxes 
or pots in the house. Cover the seeds about Yz inch with 
rich, light soil. When the plants have three or four leaves, 
transplant 18 inches apart in beds in which well-decayed 
(not fresh) manure has been thoroughly incorporated.
