MILLS GORGEOUS ASTERS— Wilt-Resistant Strain 
Asters have been one of our specialties for many 
years. Work has been going on for some time to 
produce a strain of Asters resistant to the Fusarium 
Witt Disease, which has caused so much trouble to 
both amateur and professional growers in recent 
years. 
Prevention through Wilt-Resistant strains is the 
only method of controlling the disease and from the 
hundreds of letters from our customers all over the 
United States telling of the excellent results the 
past season, we feel sure our Wilt-Resistant strain 
is a great success. 
We are offering a Special Mixture of large flower¬ 
ing Asters all grown from Wilt-Resistant stock and 
believe immune to Wilt. This mixture is made up 
of different colors in such kinds as Crego, Comet, 
Royal, Ostrich Feather, Branching, Astermum, 
American Beauty. Sensation and others. 
Asters are still the most popular autumn annuals, 
and we ask all Aster lovers to try this strain.
