WILT RESISTANT 
ASTERS 
Many who have grown asters in their gardens have had the 
disappointing experience of losing plants after they have grown 
to a good size. This difficulty is caused from what is known 
as aster wilt, and aster wilt is thought to be the result of a 
specific parasitic fungus which may attack the roots at any 
stage of growth. In an effort to correct this difficulty asters 
are grown year after year on land known to contain spores of 
this parasitic fungus. Those plants which survive are con¬ 
sidered to be resistant, and tests over a period of years indicate 
that progress has been made. This seed is offered as wilt 
resistant, not disease resistant. This strain has been developed 
at tremendous expense and customers planting the seed will 
confer a favor by reporting results.
