the Wilt disease. Thanks.

ent colors. Wilt-Resistant is all the name

Sept. 8 — writes: 
East spring received packet of your 
Wilt-Resistant Asters and wish to say 
although this is my first year with flow’¬ 
ers I have had w'onderfui success. They 
are now blooming in profusion and not 
a sign of a bug or disease anywhere 
on them. 
Mr. Walter H. I^ewis, W'oreester Co., 
Mass., Oct. 4 — writes: 
It gives me pleasure to inform you I 
have tried your Aster seed with results 
of the finest plants I have ever raised, 
and I have not had a bug on my plants 
where my neighbors have had plenty. 
Mrs. Mary F. Perry, Newton Co., Ga„ 
Oct. 4 — writes: 
1 find myself attempting to tell you 
about those Aster seeds 1 received on 
trial. They are the most beautiful flow¬ 
ers I’ve raised; everybody admires them. 
Mr. R. A. Smith, Hennepin Co., Minn., 
Sept. 15 — writes: 
East spring you advertised some Wilt- 
Proof Asters and you sent me packet 
seed. 1 started the seeds in the house 
and then transplanted them. They have 
been in blossom now for tw’o or three 
weeks, and are the nicest Asters 1 ever 
saw, with no sign of wilt. There must be 
8 or 10 different colors and my wife says 
she would rather have them than Chrys¬ 
anthemums. 
Miss Catherine Feeney, Lincoln Co., 
Maine, Sept. 6 — writes: 
The Asters are now at their height. 
1 just counted 192 blossoms in a won¬ 
derful variety of lovely colors, all from 
the little packet sample which you 
sent me. 
Mrs. D. B. Jessup, Baltimore Co., Md.,

Wish it were possible for me to ex¬ 
press the beauty of my Aster bed, they 
are so lovely. I’ve never in the 30 years 
I’ve been growing Asters had such beau¬ 
tiful colors as from the sample of Wilt- 
Proof from you last spring. The supreme 
test is that these were planted in the 
same ground we used for Asters last 
year. 
Mr. Joseph I.. Fawley, Philadelphia Co., 
Pa., Sept. 25 — writes: 
In the spring you sent me sample of 
Fusarium Wilt-Resistant Asters. I wish

100 c 'v. I tried several other strains also 
and lost nearly every one. 
Mr. Rudolph Born, New Haven Co.,

cess I had with the sample packet Aster 
seed. They all came up, no sign of dis¬

91 - w rifpd * 
From the packet of Giant Aster, the 
Wilt-Resistant Strain, I received from 
you last spring I raised 52 plants and 
not one died from Wilt and I only lost 
2 or 3 from transplanting. The colors 
are red, pink, purple, lavender and a 
pure white and all were perfectly dou¬ 
ble. I have admired them so much.
