HOW TO GROW ASTERS 
Asters are easy to grow. They prefer rich, well-drained soil and a 
warm, sunny location. For earliest blooms, sow seed indoors in boxes or 
seed-pans four to six weeks before your usual outdoor planting time. 
Set plants in the garden when weather gets warm. A continuous display 
of flowers from early summer until frost can be had by planting Extra 
Early Burpeeana and other’early, midseason and later blooming varie- 
ties. Asters have long lasting qualities, so are wonderful for cutting.
