ASTERS 
Asters are among the most popular summer and fall 
flowering annuals. They come in a great variety of 
classes and an endless number of shades. They are 
profuse bloomers and the flowers adapt themselves 
to table and house decorations. Seed may be sown in 
boxes early in the spring, protecting them from frost 
and then transplanting them to their permanent bed; 
or they can be sown where they are to remain after 
the danger of frost is over and when the soil is warm. 
Good culture is essential in order to obtain an abun¬ 
dance of fine flowers. 
ASTER WILT RESISTANT STRAINS 
The Aster Wilt disease is caused by a parasitic fungus 
which is carried on the seed, tools, and in the soil, 
and once it is introduced in the soil it persists indef¬ 
initely. Consequently the only way to grow Asters 
more than one year in the same soil is to use resist¬ 
ant stocks. 
IMPROVED CREGO WILT RESISTANT— The flow¬ 
ers are extremely large and double, often 4 to 5 
inches across, and composed of long graceful fluffy 
curled petals. Robust and branching, about 2*4 feet 
tall, these plants bloom early and are popular for cut 
flowers and bedding plants.
