Brunies’ Superb Asters 
The ever-increasing demand for this favorite flower surely proves 
its popularity with the florist and also for the home-garden. It has 
few superiors for cutting and ranks with the best annuals for bedding. 
For early flowers sow in frames during March and April, while for 
late flowering, seed may be sown in the open ground in May. They 
prefer a sunny location, rich soil and, if possible, avoid planting them 
on the same place two years in succession, H.H.A.
