Wilt-Resistant Asters 
Wilt or stem-rot has deprived many flower lovers in sections 
all over the U. S. of the lovely Aster! Loss of seedlings or trans¬ 
planted plants, stunted, one-sided and off color plants in those 
that survive, dark colored streaks in the stem, yellowing of 
the upper leaves and death of the lower leaves are character¬ 
istics of wilt or stem-rot. The wilt organisms are capable of 
prolonged existence in one’s soil and the only remedy is WILT- 
RESISTANT SEED. 
Our seed is practically immune to the ravages of wilt and 
produces an abundance of flowers on soil upon which ordinary 
seed would not possibly grow. In one severe test, plants from 
this wilt-resistant seed grew splendidly while 9 3% from ordi¬ 
nary seed succumbed.
