ASTERS 
Sow seeds indoors 6 weeks before time to set out in their beds which is after danger 
of frost has passed. Do not crowd, usually a foot apart, and use care that do not suffer 
a set back thru over watering, crowding or drought. It is best to transplant seedlings 
once. As the roots of Asters are shallow, use care in cultivating. Make succession 
plantings for continuous bloom, but when possible use different types which flower at 
different times. All strains are wilt resistant unless so noted.
