Just when summer is beginning to merge into autumn and the floral bloom 

 in the garden is diminishing, along comes the queenly Annual China Aster to 

 make up the deficiency and renew the attractiveness of the garden. 



WILT-RESISTANT ASTER SEED— Through the use of wilt-resistant seed, 

 success may be had where the soil is infected with wilt fungus, where it has 

 been impossible to grow perfect flowering plants. It is not claimed, however, 

 to be free from Aster "yellows" and other Aster diseases or insect pests.

 truly grand Aster. It is a combination of
