Need no introduction, but what is Wilt Resistant Aster Seed? It’s a strain 
of seed produced from plants that were grown in heavily wilt-infested soil. 
It is reasonable to infer that if a strain was able to grow to full maturity 
and bear seed, it’s genera or offspring must likewise be immune to wilt. 
Don't take chances, sow Wilt Resistant Strain Asters wherever possible.
