MICHELL’S 
In growing Asters, old soil and flats should never be used the second time with- 
out thoroughly sterilizing, to avoid the numerous diseases to which Asters are so 
susceptible. Barnyard manure should never be employed as a fertilizer. We recom- 
mend the use of finely ground bonemeal. Asters should not be grown in the same 
location two years in succession.
