Our Wilt Resistant American Branching: White 
Asters 
Wilt Resistant and Standard Strains 
We have gone to Aster headquarters for our seed and offer 
these strains to you with complete confidence in their 
ability to produce well for you. Wherever it was available 
we are listing the Wilt Resistant strain of each color and 
variety. In other words, we have reached the conclusion 
that the Wilt Resistant strains are superior to the Stan¬ 
dards and are listing the Standards only when the Wilt Re¬ 
sistant is not yet perfected in that certain color or type. 
The prices on Wilt Resistants are a little higher, true, but 
certainly not enough to justify your failing to try them.

One of the most beauti¬ 
ful of all Aster types. 
The flower is extremely 
graceful, with a single

are large, often 4 to 5 
inches across. This type 
does not run quite 100%

may be depended upon 
to come 75% true.
