TZait’s Superb American Stiters 
ANNUAL—Blooms June to October—CULTURE ‘‘A”’ 
Asters will thrive in most any situation, but prefer one in which they get the morning 
sun. It is well to remember than any extra care taken in the preparation of the soil is repaid 
by finer plants, larger blooms with longer stems, and more profuse flowering. They should 
have an open position, and prefer a good, heavy loamy soil, enriched with a liberal quantity 
of bone meal, or garden fertilizer. When wanted for cutting with long stems they should 
be set out not closer than 12 inches apart in rows. 
The varieties offered represent the finest Asters introduced to date including many of 
the new wilt-resistant varieties that make Asters easy to grow, and they should be in every 
garden where high quality is appreciated. 
The early sorts begin blooming in July, followed by the midseason varieties, which are 
usually at their best in August and September. 
To destroy the black Aster beetle, which is the Aster’s worst enemy, use arsenate of lead.
