MAX SCHLING’S SUPERB ASTERS 
Wilt-Resistant Varieties Only 
Asters bloom profusely during August and September. Make first sowing in the hot- 
bed in March, transplant the seedlings when they have four leaves, in boxes, 1 inch 
apart, or singly into small pots. Harden off and plant out in May. The soil should be 
rich and deeply dug. Set plants of the early varieties 10 inches apart and those of the 
later varieties 12-to 14 inches apart. The second sowing can be made in cold frame or 
in a seed-bed outdoors the latter part of April, and the third sowing the latter part of 
May.
