NEW WILT-RESISTANT STRAINS 
OF ASTERS 
For several years the largest seed growers 
and the Department of Plant Pathology of the 
University of Wisconsin have been working 
on a strain of Asters resistant to the Fusarium 
wilt disease which has caused so much trouble 
to. Aster growers. The plants may be stricken 
with the wilt at- any stage of their growth, 
from the seedling to the flowering stage, and 
as yet no method of control has been discov- 
ered. We believe prevention through highly 
wilt-resistant strains is the method of com- 
bating the disease.
