The Aster are hardy herbaceous perennials and half-hardy annuals.

The perennial asters may conveniently be considered under four distinct headings.

Dwarf early-flowering kinds derived from such species as Aster Amellus and Aster Thomsoni.

The taller, later-flowering varieties with comparatively large blooms, which have been raised from the North American species Aster Novi Belgii and Aster Novse Anglias, and together with the next group are popularly known as Michaelmas daisies.

The late-flowering kinds with narrow foliage and ele¬gant habit and large panicles of starry flowers have their origin in such species as Aster ericoides, Aster cordifolius, diffusus, and Trade-scanti.

There are also miscellaneous low growing kinds most suited to the rock garden or the extreme front of the herbaceous border.

The annual asters are derived from a Chinese plant botanically known as Callis-tephus hortensis. Numerous distinct types have been evolved by hybridisation and selection, but all have similar cultural re¬quirements.

All the perennial asters are extremely hardy and will grow in any ordinary garden soil, though in the case of the choicest alpine species it is advisable to add a liberal quantity of sand and a little leaf-mould or peat moss litter if the natural soil is of a heavy, wet, or sticky nature. For the other kinds the only preparation necessary is good deep digging and the incorporation of a little well-rotted manure into the lower spit. The taller kinds, such as hybrids of Aster Novi Belgii, cordifolius, etc., should be staked early with long bamboo canes. Even some of the dwarf hybrids of Aster Amellus and Aster Thomsoni will pay for some support, which may be provided in the form of short, brushy sticks. Clumps increase in size very rapidly and should be divided every two or three years. If very fine blooms are desired, it is advisable to thin the growths in spring, leaving only three or four to each plant according to its strength. The most suitable planting seasons for most kinds are October, March, and early April, but varieties of Aster Amellus should only be planted in spring and never in autumn.

No vegetable is held in higher esteem than asparagus. The false impression that its cul¬ture involves considerable expense is perhaps the only reason why it is not more exten¬sively grown in small gardens. That such an idea is erroneous is obvious when it is con¬sidered that a well-made bed, properly main¬tained, will yield good crops for a period of twenty years and more. The edible varieties are all descended from Asparagus officinalis. The greenhouse species popularly known as aspara¬gus fern and smilax are amongst the most decorative of foliage plants. Asparagus Sprengeri is a favourite for hanging baskets, while Asparagus plumosus and its varieties nanus and tenuis-simus are chiefly esteemed for cutting. Smilax is botanically known as Asparagus medeolioides. Both of the last-named species are useful for clothing greenhouse walls.

The first essential for the edible aparagus is thorough preparation of the bed in the initial stages. Drainage is an important point, and on heavy land it is advisable to raise it 1 foot. above the general level, trenching the ground 3 feet. deep in the autumn and adding a good dressing of sand, burnt earth, and old mortar rubble, together with a generous portion of well-decayed manure. The bed should be about 4 feet in width and will be ready for planting about the beginning of April.

If plants are purchased they must be planted immediately on arrival, as the less time that elapses be¬tween lifting and planting the better. A bed 4 feet in width will take three rows, allowing 15 inches between the plants in the row.
No heads must be cut until the second year after planting. During the first season an ample supply of water should be given during dry weather and also a dressing of a good artificial fertiliser to encourage free growth. About the first week in November the old growths can be cut down and the bed covered over to a depth of 3 in. with well-decayed manure.

There are many reasons why people raise chicken. After all, people have been raising chicken since 5400 BC. The domestication of the chicken has largely evolved into a major food production undertaking for human consumption. Today, there are more domesticated chickens in farm houses than there are wild fowl in forests across the world.

And why would you and I want to raise chicken?

I have my own reasons, and you probably have yours, too. For me, I just want to go back to the old charm of the countryside after spending sometime in the city. I want to enjoy the smell of natural flowers, feel the caress of fresh air, climb mountains, wade through rivers, and feel free and refreshed in the midst of it all. Perhaps, there is an anthropological explanation to this. I believe there is a natural yearning in all of us to be in the midst of nature and our natural sources of food.

But, of course, I also need to continue working to have something to feed my family – and I think poultry-raising is not such a bad idea. Aside from getting a steady source of income from chicken eggs and meat, I can also have a steady supply of fresh chicken and eggs for my family’s consumption. With the price of organic eggs in groceries hitting $4 a dozen, raising chicken in your own backyard is certainly a most welcome idea.

Let me give you a rundown of the other benefits of raising chicken in your own backyard:

Eggs from free range chickens are healthier and more ideal for human consumption. Commercially farmed chicken are fed an unnatural diet, mostly chemically produced feeds that are meant to produce more eggs quickly and cheaply. This results in layers that produce eggs that are less nutritious than those produced by chickens allowed to roam around a barn, scratch and search for their own food, and live in natural, open environment.

Eggs of backyard, free range chicken are naturally more nutritious and more flavorful than commercial eggs produced by chickens perpetually in a state of confinement.

Raising backyard chicken teaches children about responsibility and origins of their food.
