Annual Flower Seeds 
Letherman’s 
The Super Giant Type 
FINE ASTERS 
Start Aster Seed in March or early April in- 
doors for plants to set out in May. For late summer 
and fall bloom sow seed in the garden when the 
soil is warm. Work the soil fine and transplant the 
seedlings when they are large enough to handle 
easily. 
It is better not to grow Asters on the same plot 
year after year, but change their location each 
season. Watch Asters closely for insects and spray 
accordingly. The insects spread disease.
