Asters 
I N SOME localities 
Aster plantings have 
often been a failure with 
home gardeners. Aster 
wilt is caused by a parasitic 
fungus, a disease difficult 
to overcome once it has 
made its appearance in the 
soil. Wilt-Resistant strains 
are immune from the dis¬ 
ease and will grow in in¬ 
fected soil. These strains 
have been developed in 
the classes listed below.
