Giant Single Asters—For Artistic Floral Arrangements 


BURNETT’S BEAUTIFUL ASTERS 
The introduction of a Wilt-resistant strain of Asters of recent years has helped tremendously in restoring this beautiful flower to popular 
favor as a garden plant. 
Up until the time of the origination of this resistant strain, garden enthusiasts were becoming discouraged trying to 
grow Asters outdoors with the wilt-disease so prevalent. The appearance of this new strain has again awakened interest in the culture of Asters. 
For best results the ground cannot be too richly prepared. 
For July and August flowers, sow in March or April in cold frames or hotbeds.
