good substance and fine depth petals.

are excellent shippers. 
Please Note: There are two types 
of aster diseases, the Aster Wilt and 
Aster Yellows. The wilt can be con¬ 
trolled by planting wilt-resistant 
varieties such as Golden Sheaf. How¬ 
ever, the Yellows can only be controlled 
by caging in the plants in muslin 
cages as this disease is caused by an 
insect. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c, post¬ 
paid.
