Better Asters 
Improvement of Asters by Breeding is again receiving our attention. Our 200-foot 
house the past summer was devoted mainly to improvement of the four varieties pictured 
above—more double, larger flowers, better stems, wilt resistance. The new Ball Shell-Pink 
offered this year is from our breeding lines. Others will follow. 
Spring Greenhouse Asters (under glass). 
Asters can be flowered in spring or early summer through use of lights. Spider control 
is assured with parathion bombs. Wilt losses may be almost eliminated with steaming. 
We flowered a fine crop early July from a February 4 sowing. They were transplanted 
to 24-inch bands February 25, benched 12 x 12 in. on May 2, lighted from sowing 
till benching. 60-watt bulbs were used 5 ft. apart. A December sowing lighted from sow- 
ing date will bloom in May. Run them 50-55° nights. 
For complete cultural notes on Asters, see our Ball Red Book, mailed for 50c. 
Excessive rot is the price of growing Asters too long in the same location.
