W.R.= Wilt-Resistant Asters 



Seeds of these are from plants that have proved 

 immune to the fusarium wilt disease. They are in- 

 valuable in those sections where wilt is prevalent and 

 also permits growing Asters in the same ground year 

 after year. We are confident our patrons will find 

 them a profitable investment.

Growers should clearly understand that Aster Wilt 

 and Aster Yellows are two distinct diseases. Tlie an- 

 swer to wilt is the 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 

 near by fields.
