Amongst the glories of the American autumn are the asters and Goldenrods. They complement each other. The asters run in cyanic colors, Goldenrods in xanthic, âthe blue and blush on the one hand and the yellow and golden on the other. Because the Goldenrods are so common, they have not been appreciated for plant- ing. They improve in the garden, however, the plants becoming larger and the bloom fuller and richer. They present no difficulties in cultivation. They may be transplanted from the wild with the greatest ease, and the stools may be lifted and divided as soon as they be- come root-bound and show signs of failing. The Soli- dagos are variable, even within the same species. There- fore it is well to mark fine individual clumps when in bloom, for removal in late fall or early spring. The observation of a single season should result in a fine â¢collection of individual plants; and the natural excel- lences of these specimens should be maintained and ^augmented by supplying good soil and giving good care.
