hudjnnd, Krunz, whoso father had
been u peasant, wondered what was
to become of their little son, Franz
Ihchubert. The boy was ion f too
strong, and nine other children hae
died. At evenii.g, the father took his
evolved two fairly distinct tyis the
comet type and the late Drancniiig
type. The comet is of European origin.
It is the fluffy outcurved t'pc. The
late branching type is incurved. Both
have developed into wonderful giant
sizes rivaling the chrysanthemums.
The feathery more graceful comet
typo is favorite with some growers
and the sturdier and more durable
late branching type, nn American de
velopment, is the choice of other grow
ers, lloth should be grown for suc
cession. The comet type includes the giant
astermums ,thc giant ctego, tho giant
comet, the nukado and the ostrich
plume t'pc.
Tho late branching type include
tho name class, the king class, the new
American beauty class, latest of all
and a most valuable addition to the
aster family, and others
Besides these two distinct types
thero is the early Queen of the Mar-
jVet class, earliest of all, and the older
Victoria type, a flat and more formal
flower, suggestive uf the chrysanthe
mums or the pompom class in form.
The Crown asters, having white cen
ters belong in the Victoria class as do
the Daybreak varieties. However, the
comet and late branching kinds are
displacing the older Victoria typo in
popular favor.
The single Marguerite asters, a sin
gle form of the comet class, unusual
ly graceful and decorative, are rapid
ly gaining in favor. These daisylikc
flowers do not suggest the aster nt
flint sight. They are likely to become
more popular as they are better
known, a daisy-like flower always be
ing valued for bouquets.
' The 'Asf'r Beetle.
One of the chief griefs of a garden
er is that with the development of any
favorite plant, there usualiy develops
along with it some insect or fungus
pest to destroy his hopes just when
1 1 they seem about to be realized, and no
plant has a greater handicap in some
sections than the aster.
This is a black beetle about un inch
long that fiocks in by the hundred
and literally cats the blossoms and
opening buds off the plunt. O'tcn it
will do tho damage before its presence
is discovered, and even if the plants J
arc aprayed with some arsenate of 1 1
lead solution, the beetles have to take J
a few mouthfuls before the poison l
and moisture, the best results ano
tne largest roots are obtained if tht
seedlings are transplanted ir.t i indi
vidual pots before they are set ink
the ground.
In order to make tho root grow
deeper and develop more su'jstun-e
many gardeners rake the s-m! away
from the top of the root as it devi-l '?.
until nearly the entiro root is abovi
the ground. This send the feeding
roots down deeper and develops great
er depth of root.

will not endure hot, dry weather and
flourish. Consequently they must bo
planted early. If tho ground is work
able in 'March they should be pi. in,
planting them deeply, say about two
inches.
It is much surer and safer to plant
them in pots or boxes or in a cold
frame for an early start. The pap-r

glass for some time upon which the
liny plants may start to dim . Other
wise they become hopelessly eu-angl',d
and almost impossible to transplant

Sweet pea growers nre with gie:t
difficulty weaned from tho !,abit of
thick planting of the seed, niti 'h the
same as with the garden pea. The

to wither and die inexplicably. This!
is a hard trouble to combat, but a
dressing of lime on the soil is recom
mended. It will do no harm in any
event, but will be of benefit to the
plants. Air-slacked lime is recom
mcndVd for this purpose rather than
hydra ted lime, and it should be put on
the soil a few weeks before the asters
are to 1 planted.
