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. : ,
