But some will. and in general it has been found that those who have trouble growing asters. get far bet- ter results with the resistant strains.

Nearly all the types and colors are now obtainable in wilt resistant strains.

A succession of asters may be ob- tained in two ways—-by starting the late types early in the house or in‘ a frame and making successive plant- ings until they may be sown in the open ground. or by sowing early, mid-season and late types at the same time.

The giant branching type is per- haps the most satisfactory and the showiest of the asters. 1:. makes a beautiful bed. and is fine for cut- ting. ii.5 huge. delicate blossoms being as soft and finished looking as the florists‘ cut flowers. They grow up to 3 feet in a wide range of colors.

More sensational is the Cali- fornia sunshine type, with lis daisy- llks contour which belies the aster heritage. Their lcdsely placed out- side petals usually contrast in color with the creamy yellow or blue centers, and they grow up to 3 feet tall.

Rose and pink with lavender and purples are good colors to mix with white asters; but as with annuals, they show off better when planted in solid colors.

The seed should be sown thinly to make transplanting easy and save waste of plants in splndling, over-crowded seedlings. They should be translianted from the oringlnal seed box or pot 1 inch apart as soon as the first true leaves are formed and grown until ready to set into the open ground.
