Cait’s Chorobred Asters 
ANNUAL --- Blooms June to October 
CULTURE “A” 
_ Asters will thrive in most any situation, but prefer one 
in which they get the morning sun. It is well to remember 
that any extra care taken in the preparation of the soil 
is repaid by finer plants, larger blooms with longer stems, 
and more profuse flowering. They should have an open 
position, and prefer a good, heavy loamy soil, enriched with 
a liberal quantity of bone meal, or garden fertilizer. When 
wanted for cutting with long stems they should be set out 
not closer than 12 inches apart in rows. 
The varieties offered represent the finest Asters intro- 
duced to date including many of the new wilt-resistant 
varieties that make Asters easy to grow, and they should 
be in every garden where high quality is appreciated. 
_The early sorts begin blooming in July, followed by the 
midseason varieties, 
August and September. 
which are usually at their best in 
To destroy the black Aster beetle, which is the Aster’s 
worst enemy, use arsenate of lead.
