MecCULLOUGH’S ASTERS New Types and Wilt- 
Resistant Strains 
Asters are the glory of our gardens in August and September, just when good flowers for 
cutting and garden display are wanted. To succeed with Asters, sow the seed in flats in the 
house or hotbed in March. Transplant the seedlings 2 inches apart in boxes, and when they 
are large enough to handle, move to permanent beds in May. For late crops sow outdoors 
late April or early May. The richer the ground, the better your flowers will be, and water 
Is very necessary.
