TAIT’S WILT-RESISTANT 
ASTERS IMPROVED 
Aste best i I I h h h natae 
sters grow best in an open location where they get the 
morning sun. They prefer good, heavy, loamy soil, enriched ye eaK cpus 
with plenty of bonemeal or garden fertilizer. If long cutting 
stems are desired, the plants should be set not closer than 
12 inches apart in the rows. Any extra care taken in the 
preparation of the soil is repaid with finer plants, larger blooms 
with longer stems, and more profuse bloom. We offer the best 
varieties introduced to date. Blooms from June to October.
