The most serious disease that affects the Aster is Wilt. Aster Wilt has played havoc with 
many aster plantings and much time and money has been spent in combatting it. 
Recently we were able to obtain certain varieties which showed remarkable immunity 
from this disease. Careful investigation and tests on a very large scale proved conclu¬ 
sively that, even on land badly infested with aster wilt, these resistant sorts made a strong, 
healthy growth, bloomed profusely and produced a good crop of seed without showing a 
sign of wilt.
