JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, FLORAL PARK,. Asters. The acknowledged queen of autumn annuals. Indis- pensable for the flower srarden. line as a show plant for fairs and exhibitions, and chai ruing pot'plants. Very profuse bloomers, with exceedingly beautiful flowers of most °x- quisite colors and almost perfect form. There are several forms of Asters, some being imbricated like the Rose. 6ome loose and globular like a Paeony. while others are partly incurved ike the Chrysanthemum. In regard to height they are classified as tall, half-dwarf and dwarfs. The tall varieties are fine for the center of largo beds and for cut ring as their flowers are borne on long stems: the dwarfs are particularly line for borders or masses of one color, as they are so compact and bloom so profusely as to seem like so many bouquets set in the ground; the semi-dwarf are good for all purposes, and extra line for pot culture. It is a good plan to make two or more successive sowings two weeks apart, to prolong the season of bloom ; seeds can be sown in hot-beds or house and afterwards transplanted or they can be sown in open ground. In hot. dry weather, mulch liberally with old manure <»r coarse litter, and do not l.;t tlieni stiller f.»r water. Our 11 — r of varieties is a tine ,.,,e. I here is i, ,t a poor sort among them all.
