Plant Wilt-Resistant Asters — Save Disappointments 
Che Bright and Gay Asters 
ALL WILT-RESISTANT STRAINS 












Because of their easy culture and vigorous growth, Asters are de- 
servedly popular. For blooming in September 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 one-half 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, 
EARLY ROYAL. An early flowering type of our already popular new

while their long-stemmed flowers are ideal for cutting. Pkt.
