Asters are the glory of the garden in August and September, just when good flowers for cutting and 
garden display are wanted in masses. They are greatly different from other summer blooming plants 
in their color effect, for no harsh red or yellow shades are found among them. There is an immense 
number of different types of Asters, in all of which similar colors have been produced. From time to 
time we add such of these newer types as have proved meritorious, discarding older Asters which no 
longer compete with these new developments. During the past few years Aster growers have worked 
toward true wilt-resistant strains, and while they cannot yet claim perfection, the results have shown 
great improvement in this direction. 
Plants from seed sown in the open ground in May bloom profusely in September and October. For 
July and August flowers sow in March or April in cold frame, pots or boxes in the house. A rich, deeply 
dug soil in a sunny location is necessary for large blooms. Abundant watering and sufficient spacing 
of plants will greatly increase the quality of blooms.
