PERRY'S PRIZE ASTERS 
Wilt most commonly occurs in the hot Midsummer 
months, just as the buds are beginning to open. The plant 
wilts, the leaves first turn yellow, then brown and curl, 
finally dying. The Remedy is to use Wilt Resistant 
Strains that have proven so valuable that wherever 
available we offer them to the exclusion of others. The 
Aster “yellows” is quite a different disease that can best 
be avoided by growing your crop under cloth to prevent 
infestation by the insects spreading it. Unless otherwise 
noted, all our seed is of a Wilt Resistant Strain.
