WB WB WB 
The mark WB before the variety name of any Aster means 
that it is from a Will-Bloom or Wilt-resistant strain. We recom¬ 
mend that you use WB strains (Will-Bloom) of Aster seed in 
your garden this year. 
Hart & Vick’s Branching Asters 
This superb class of Asters still holds its popularity despite the 
introduction of many later novelties. The blooms are borne on long 
stems, making them extremely valuable for cutting. The plants fre¬ 
quently cover a space of 3 feet, and should be allowed ample room 
to develop to full size. Seed sown in pots or boxes in March or April 
and transplanted to outdoor beds in May or June will provide bloom 
in August and September.
