They should have an open, sunny position, and prefer a good, heavy, loamy soil, enriched with a liberal quantity of bone meal or other good com- mercial fertilizer; and the addition of wood ashes or air- & slacked lime, and should not be grown on the same ground iW year after year; it must be changed each season. J The main essentials to insure fine Asters are a ' —new rich soil, frequent cultivation, no check to their growth from start to finish and ample room to develop. When wanted for cutting with long stems, they should be set out not closer than twelve inches apart in the rows and two feet between the rows. When wanted for mass effects in beds they may be planted nine inches to a foot apa
