MAX SCHLING’S SUPERB ASTERS 
Wilt Resistant Varieties Only 
Asters bloom profusely during August 
and September. Make first sowing in the 
hotbed 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 seedbed outdoors the latter part of 
April, and the third sowing the latter part 
of May.

Max Schling’s Famous 
Annual Wild Garden Mixture 
It is our wish that we would have 
sufficient space to list all of the testi- 
monials that we have received in praise 
of this marvelous seed value. We have 
received reports from all sections of the 
country extolling the beauty and _ prac- 
tical results obtained from sowing this 
mixture. Carefully blended to strike a 
perfect balance between the showy bright 
annuals and those of more subdued 
tendencies, the result provides a bold 
effect where required and a vista of real 
beauty covering large areas where it 
would be impossible to intensely culti- 
vate a garden. Left to themselves, the 
vigorous hardy annuals in this mixture 
self-sow and it can be safely said that a 
wild garden produced from this seed 
will be more or less permanent. 
Oz., 50c: Y% Ib., $1.50; Ib: $5.00.
