PALMER COMPANY DEPARTMENT ms about; ASTER PLANTS Through the kindness of Mrs. E. E. Bragg, The Observer has obtained a little booklet on the care and culture of the aster for the benefit of ama teur aster growers. The information contained therein will be of great as sistance to those who are growing as ters this year, and we take therefrom the following: ' The 80IL The china aster can be made to do well In any ordinary soil, from a light sand to a heavy clay.'. The Ideal soli Is a strong loam, well supplied with organic matter and plant food, and retentive of moisture. ' But any plot that proves to be good soli for the home garden may be depended upon to give good asters. If the soli is not already rich enough, fertility can be furnished in the shape of well rotted manure. If It Is mellow and dries out niitdrW. frtwiHAnt and thorough tillage will put It In better mechanical borul dlUon. '. ' I Fertilisers. . - Asters seem to do best on soil thai has been made rich previous to the year they are grown. To obtain th benefits of stable maunre the same year. It should be well rotted and be thoroughly mixed with the soil. II It Is difficult to procure well rotted manure It Is a good plan to work In, 4 heavy top dressing the previous ses son; this should be done before the soil gets too cold, or It will not be come properly decayed before winter sets In. , If the soil Is mellow and holds the moisture well, commercial fertilizers may safely be used. A high-grade complete fertilizer, such as Is used by market gardeners, Is most suitable. It should contain not less than throe and one-half or four per cent of avail able nitrogen. From five to -seven pounds to the Bquare rod may safely be applied. It should be thoroughly raked In, and It would be better to wait until after a rain before planting. More moisture Is needed with com mercial fertilizers than with stable manure, and we should prefer the lat ter when It can be obtained. Manure water, diluted to the color of weak tea, may be applied freely and will cause a strong growth. It may be prepared by putting- two bushels of clear stable manure in a cask of wa ter. If convenient, a few quarts of hen manure may be added. Disbudding. To secure extra long-stemmed f low ers of the branching varieties, pinch out the center bud when the plants begin to branch. Allow about six of the side branches to grow, and keep the lateral buds removed from othe; branches. '' The entire strength of th plant Is thus given to a half dozen flowers. In Vlck's .Royal Purple aster, we have developed a type of plant in which precisely this result Is accom plished by nature. We are also de veloping the same type of' plant In several other colors of branching ar ters. Sow lug the Seed. "' For sowing Inside, use shallow boxes that will hold two and one-half or three Inches of soli when filled within half an Inch or so from the top. To ordinary garden soli add one-fourtb fine well rotted manure and enough sand to keep the soil from becoming hard. Press firmly and evenly. WltU a piece of lath make shallow marks two inches apart for the seed rows. Sow thinly and cover the surface of box evenly with sand to the depth of one-eighth to one-fourth Inch. Again press firmly and shade with a paper until the plants begin to come up. If the soli is moist when the seed is sowed It should need but little water until well up. To avoid damping off and stem rot water thoroughly when necessary and allow the surface to become dry before watering, again. Avoid frequent sprinklings' and do not water late In the day. The same pre cautions should be used In coldframes. Give plenty of air when weather con ditions permit. Transplanting. When the seedlings have made two true leaves they can be pricked off Into other boxes or Into a coldframe. The soil of the plant box 'or frame should be as moist as may be with out packing, and ao that It will not need sprinkling for the first day or two after transplanting. Plants root better It the soil is moist than they do If It Is wet. The plants should have; at least an Inch In the row and two and one-half Inches between the rows, ! that the surface of the soil may bej stirred frequently; this promotes growth and prevents stem rot. If the I plants get crowded a second trans planting ahoud be given. When the plants of the extra early varieties get crowded or for any reason get checked in their growth, they begin to form flower buds and further plant growth Is stopped. Before planting out they should be well hardened oft by re moving the sash entirely during the day and by setting the boxes out of doors. Young plants that have been thoroughly hardened will stand frost . . Planting Out. Plants for early flowers should be put out as soon as soil and weather conditions wilt permit and before they show a tendency to form flower budi. If possible, plant when the soil is moist, but not wet Put the plants In rows to facilitate hoeing. If In beds, 10 to It Inches each way, according to the richness of the soil. Avoid plant Ing where there has been trouble with stem rot or root lice. Asters do not object to partial shade and in such place are less subject to the attacks of certain Insects. : , For Rent..: ..
