ASTERS Annual 
Asters prefer an open, sunny situation and 
they respond amazingly to fertilizers and good 
cultivation. It is advisable to change the loca- 
tion of the Aster-bed each year if you want 
large flowers and lots of them. For early bloom, 
start the seed in a window-box or hotbed, in 
March, giving the little plants plenty of light 
and water as required, and thinning 3 to 4 
inches apart, or transplanting them when a 
few inches high to small pots. Set them out 
after danger from frost is past. For solid beds 
of color, set the plants 8 to 10 inches apart, 
but if large flowers and long stems are wanted 
for cutting, plant at least 1 foot apart in rows 
114 to 2 feet apart. The seed may be sown 
outdoors in early May with good results ex- 
cept that the plants will bloom later.
