surpee’s Beautiful ASTERS 
— » 
sters are easy to grow. They prefer rich, well-drained soil and a warm, sunny location. For earliest blooms, 
‘seed indoors in boxes or seed-pans four to six weeks before your usual outdoor planting time. Set plants in 
he garden when weather gets warm. A continuous display of flowers from early summer until frost can be 
iad by planting extra early, early and midseason blooming varieties. Asters are wonderful for cutting. 
Pea * Varieties marked with an asterisk (:k) are the Wilt-Resistant Strain. 
j They are highly immune to “Wilt disease” or “Stem-rot.”’
