Asters Resistant to Wilt 
Many Colors Are Now Available 
In some localities success with Asters has been rendered doubtful 
through attacks of the Fusarium Wilt, but in recent years varieties 
have been developed with a marked resistance to this condition, and 
we are now able to offer a wide range of colors and types of Asters 
that are almost immune. If Wilt has attacked your Asters in previous 
seasons, or your neighbors,’ we suggest that you sow the following 
Wilt-resistant kinds:—- 
The descriptions of the particular classes on pages 23 and 24 apply equally 
to these new types. To obtain them, however, be sure to include the letters 
WR when writing out your order.

The Best Asters in Cultivation 
Mid season Giants 
We believe these to be the best type today because of the perfect 
form of the flowers, their immense size, and true, clear colors. The 
sturdy, upright plants produce giant blooms, often 6 inches across, 
fully double, of great substance, and on long stems. For decorative 
effect in the garden and for cut bloom. Midseason Giants are unsur¬ 
passed. 
Note especially that Midseason Giants have been developed for 
size and beauty, but not for resistance to Fusarium Wilt. We recom¬ 
mend them for Wilt-free localities, but if you have reason to expect 
Wilt, use the resistant types instead.

Giant Double King Carnations 
Many gardeners do not realize how readily these Carnations may 
be grown. Seed may be sown outdoors when cold weather has gone, 
or, for earlier bloom, they may be sown in a frame, a greenhouse, or 
in a sunny window. Plant out the seedlings 6 inches apart, and from 
midsummer until frost you will have Carnations just as full and 
sweetly perfumed as those sold by the florist, and almost as large. 
All they need is garden soil of fair average quality and plenty of sun. 
Also, you may remove side-buds so as to allow one flower on a stem 
at a time.
