MILLS WILT-RESISTANT ASTERS

overcome once it has made its appearance. We now offer a new strain bred for resistance to the Fusarlum Wilt and absolutely 
immune to it. Read what a few of our customers say. We have on hie hundreds of such letters. 
Asters, the most popular and highly prized of Autumn 
annuals, have been our specialty for years and Mills Superb

standing beauty in form and color.

Carl L. Sarver, Sacramento, Calif., writes: “Wilt-Proof 
Asters are a knock-out. I quit trying Asters the past three 
years as it was useless. This year I have a beautiful pro¬ 
fusion of bloom from your Wilt-Resistant Seed.” 
Earl E. Graper, D. C., Schenectady, N. Y„ writes: “For 
past four or five years we have been patiently trying to 
find out the trouble with our Aster plants. Each year 
brought the same results — failure. You kindly sent me a 
package of your Wilt-Resistant Strain. Today we have a 
bed of the most beautiful Asters we have grown in years.” 
Mrs. .John Wieskamp, Jr., Oostburg, Wis., writes: “I want 
to tell you about the Asters I have from a packet of your 
Wilt-Resistant Strain. Have never been able to raise Asters 
until this year. I have 76 plants all in bloom, prettiest 
Asters I have ever seen.” 
E. F, Etheridge, Norfolk, Va., writes: “When ordering my 
seeds you sent me a sample of Wilt-Resistant Asters. I 
want to say they are beautiful. I have never been success¬ 
ful before with Asters.” 
Mrs. H. H. Myers, Duluth, Minn., writes: “Wish you could 
see the fine bed of Asters now in bloom from your Wilt- 
Resistant Strain. I had not tried to grow Asters for the 
past five seasons as I had not been at all successful. 
There is not the least sign of blight on any of this year’s 
planting.”
