MICHELL’S SUPERB ASTERS 
We wish to emphasize the fact that our Asters are grown for us by specialists, and nearly all varieties under our own supervision. 
Michell’s “Distinctive” Quality is nowhere more prominent than with our Asters, and we can recommend them with the utmost 
confidence to produce the very best results. Our seed is grown from plants which are free from disease. 
SPECIAL NOTE.— In growing Asters, old soil and flats should never be used the second time without thoroughly sterilizing, to 
avoid the numerous diseases to which Asters are so susceptible; barnyard manure should never be employed as a fertilizer; we recommend 
the use of finely ground bone meal. Asters should not be grown in the same location two years in succession. 
FUSARIUM WILT RESISTANT STRAINS 
We take pleasure in offering the following varieties of Wilt 
Resistant Asters. These we believe to be practically immune to 
this disease. We feel sure that by using this seed many disap¬ 
pointments due to crop failures will be eliminated.
