ASTERS—SPRING FLOWERING 
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 additional 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 are 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.
