Plant your Asters in new, rich soil and keep them well cultivated. Grow them in 
beds and borders to produce a mass effect and set them 1 foot apart each way; if you 
want extra-long stems for cutting, they should have 18 inches of room. Good seed 
produces the best flowers. Our seed is grown for us by men who have made a lifetime 
study of Aster-seed growing. You will find it is very satisfactory.
