» SCHLING’S SUPERB ASTERS 
Wilt-Resistant Varieties Only 
Asters bloom profusely during August and Sep- 
tember. To be able to cut abundantly and over the 
longest possible period, you should make several sow- 
ings of the early-, medium- and late-flowering types. 
The first sowing in the hotbed in March, trans- 
plant the seedlings when they have four leaves, in 
boxes, | inch apart, or singly into small pots. Harden 
off and plant out in May. The soil should be rich and 
deeply dug. Set plants of the early varieties 10 inches 
apart and those of the later varieties 12 to 14 inches 
apart. The second sowing can be made in a cold frame 
or in a seed-bed outdoors the latter part of April, and 
the third sowing the latter part of May.
