they rival the Chrysanthe-

By planting early, mid- 
season, and late flowering 
varieties you may have a 
continuous succession of : 
flowers from early summer until frost. For 
early blooms sow seed indoors or in a cold 
frame in March, otherwise sow outdoors after 
danger from freezing has passed. 
Good culture and a sunny open situation is 
essential. Avoid the numerous diseases to 
which Asters are susceptible by planting in 
new ground each year. Prepare the soil care- 
fully, using a good heavy loam enriched with 
a liberal quantity of bone meal, wood ashes 
and a little air-slacked lime. Barnyard manure 
should never be used. The plants should be 
- .cultivated frequently and tobacco dust 
sprinkled around the stems to control aphis.
