ASTERS 
Asters for cutting in June. Yes, sow the varieties you 
prefer in well prepared soil in late March or early April— 
depending on the season: Sow thinly and then transplant — 
the surplus as soon as they are large enough to handle. 
Remove the P.M.G. as soon as frosts are past but do not 
worry if you get a slight nip late in the season. The Aster 
will stand it. Pes Be Ron

‘in the Spring as soon as the soil is workable.

the fall-sown seedlings may not come through, but given 
_ half a chance they will. Early Spring sowing—late March—
