Growers should clearly understand that Aster Wilt 

 and Aster Yellows are two distinct diseases. The an- 

 swer to wilt is tlie use of wilt-resistant varieties but 

 to prevent Aster yellows the plants should be grown 

 in cloth houses to prevent leaf hoppers from carry- 

 ing the disease virus to the Asters from weeds in 

 nearby fields.
