Hart & Vicki GARDEN ASTERS 

In so far as possible we offer you only Wilt-Resistant Seed. This will make more 
robust and thrifty plants, far less susceptible to disease than the ordinary Aster Seed. 
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 | 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 life- 
time study of Aster-seed growing. 
Heart of France Asters 
The best pure red Aster ever introduced. 
Heart of France opens red as the purest ruby, 
deepens with age, and retains its remarkable 
beauty to the very end. The plant begins to 
bloom quite early in the season and opens 
fully with the midseason varieties.

This superb class of Asters still holds its

stems, making them extremely valuable for 
cutting. The plants frequently cover a space 
of 3 feet, and should be allowed ample room 
to develop to full size. Seed sown in pots or 
boxes in March or April and transplanted to 
outdoor beds in May or June will provide bloom 
in August and September.

Seed we don’t know. Certainly there will be 
more planted this season.
