ASTERS (See page 27) 
SpeciaL Nore. While this lovely fall flower 
is very easily grown from seed, the greatest 
possible care should be exercised with the 
seed-bed. Old soil and boxes should never be 
used the second time without thoroughly 
sterilizing, to avoid the numerous diseases to 
which Asters are so susceptible. Barnyard 
manure should never be employed as a fer- 
tilizer; we recommend the use of fine-ground 
bonemeal. Asters should not be grown in the 
same location two years in succession.
