HARRIS’ WILT-RESISTANT ASTERS 
Annual 18 to 30 inches high Culture B $ C 
Asters are a Harris Specialty 
Selecting the best Asters for your garden has always been a specialty of Harris. 
Only the Best Varieties of Asters 
Each year we have very complete test plantings and offer you only those kinds which proved to 
be the most satisfactory for color, growth in the garden, and for cut flowers. This eliminates duplica¬ 
tion and confusion. 
The New Wilt-Resistant Asters 
As fast as the most desirable of the kinds are developed to be resistant to the disease known as 
“Aster Wilt,” we include them in our list. These Asters are resistant to the “wilt” or “stem rot;” 
but are not immune to the attacks of the “tarnished plant-bug” or the “leaf-hopper” that causes 
the “yellows.” 
Sow Aster Seed Outdoors 
It is not necessary to start Aster seed in the house in order to have good flowers. They can very 
successfully be sown directly into the garden and later thinned or transplanted to the proper distance. 
However, the seed must be sown as early as possible.
