Wilt-Resistant Asters 
And now everyone can grow Asters! While not entailing 
the huge monetary loss caused by the complete failure of crops 
of cabbage, melons, and tomatoes, wilt or stem-rot has deprived 
nniny llower lovers m sections all over the United States, of 
this desirable flower, the Aster. Loss of seedlings or trans¬ 
planted plants, stunted, one-sided and off color plants in those 
that survive, dark colored streaks in the stem, yellowing of 
the upper leaves and death of the lower leaves are character¬ 
istics of wilt or stem-rot. The wilt organisms are capable of 
prolonged existence in one’s soil and the only reinedv is WILT- 
KESISTANT SEED. ^ icmeuj is w 
Thioiigh the labors of Dr. L. O. Kunkel at the Boyce Thomp- 
son Institute and of Prof. L. R. Jones and Dr. R. S Riker at 
the University of Wisconsin, wilt-resistant aster seed is now 
available. This seed is practically immune to the ravages of 
wilt and produces an abundance of flowers on aster sick soil 
soil upon which ordinary seed would not possibly grow. In 
one severe test, plants from this wilt-resistant seed grew splen¬ 
didly while 93% from ordinary seed succumbed.

SALZER’S PEERLESS YELLOW ASTER 
It has been difficult in the past to get a good yellow 
Aster. We have been working constantly for several 
years and have at last develojied one that is far su¬ 
perior in every Avay to anything heretofore offered to 
the public. The 
plant grows about 
two feet h i g- h, 
bearing numerous 
flowers of good 
size and form, 
petals slightly in¬ 
curved but with¬ 
out any trace of 
quills, about late 
mid-season in ma¬ 
turity. The color 
of the flower upon 
opening is a deep 
yellow, changing 
to lighter yellow 
as the llower ages. 
This new and 
distinct color in 
Asters will appeal 
to all who desire 
the unusual in 
their gardens.

A lovely new Aster which 
we introduced in 1927. The 
plants are of strong, vig¬ 
orous growth, producing on 
long and strong stems, 
large and perfectly formed 
double flowers in great pro¬ 
fusion. The flowers meas¬ 
ure as m u c h as 4 to 5 
inches in diameter, the cen¬ 
ter being a beautiful soft 
and fluff.v cushion of golden 
yellow, surrounded by outer 
petals of soft lavender. At 
Cliffwood Farms, they at¬ 
tracted nmch favorable 
comment. The petals are deli¬ 
cately Quilled, giving the flower 
a charming appearance. 171G—
