Asters Annu » I 
The Queen of the Annuals 
The Aster is the most popular fall flower 
grown, and justly so because of its easy culture, 
season of bloom, and lasting qualities, both in 
the garden and as a cut-flower. To succeed with 
Asters, sow the seed in flats in the house or hot¬ 
bed in March, transplant the seedlings, 2 inches 
apart, in boxes, when they are large enough to 
handle, and move to permanent beds in May. 
Set the plants of early varieties 10 inches apart, 
and of later varieties 18 inches apart. The richer 
the ground the better your flowers will be, and 
water is very necessary.
