SPRING FLOWERING ASTERS 
Sept. and later sowings of early Asters will flower from 
Easter on, if 50 watt bulbs are spaced about 18 in. above the 
plants at 4 ft. intervals, and lighted to provide 5 hours addi- 
tional day length. Lights must be used from the small seedling 
stage until flowering, spacing the plants about 10 x 10 in. 
Growers are finding this crop an excellent one to follow 
Mums, especially where lights were already in place for late 
Mums. Many have reported very satisfactory returns on their 
early Aster crop handled this way. 
We like the Royals best for this purpose although the slightly 
earlier Queens may be desirable in other localities.
