Asters Resistant to Wilt 
All Colors Are Now Available 
In some localities success with Asters has been rendered doubt¬ 
ful through attacks of the Fusarium Wilt, but we now offer a 
wide range of colors and types of Asters that are almost immune. 
If Wilt has attacked your Asters in previous seasons, sow the 
following:— 
WR AURORA GOLDEN SHEAF. The deepest yellow Aster 
yet offered, and the only yellow we list that has been bred to 
resist the Fusarium disease. The flowers are perfectly double, 
with a full, crest-like center, of good substance and fine depth 
of floret. Pkt. 35 cts.; 3 pkts. ¥1; Moz. $2. 
WR IMPERIAL RED. A wonderful new giant single Aster, 
with curled and interlaced outer florets, so bright in color that 
they instantly catch the eye. Their intense brilliant red is 
emphasized by the bright yellow center. Growing 18 inches 
high, each plant produces many flowers on good, long stems, 
hence it is valuable as a cut-flower. Pkt. 25 cts.; Ms 02 - 75 cts.; 
J4oz. $1.25. 
WR BLUE FLAME. Bright navy-blue, distinct from any other 
dark blue or purple Aster now offered. Large, Comet-like 
flowers, fully double, on branching plants. Pkt. 25 cts.; 
Mjoz. 75 cts.; Koz. $1-25. 
WR HEART OF FRANCE. This recent introduction is the 
largest flowering of the very dark red sorts. The plants grow 
about 2 feet high, are nicely branched, and bear their long, 
rich, deep ruby-red flowers on long, strong stems. A late- 
blooming sort. Pkt. 25 cts.; Fsoz. 75 cts.; 34 oz - $L25. 
WR BALL’S WHITE. Finest midseason white Aster. The 
flowers are 4 inches in diameter and exquisite in form. When 
first open the entire flower is whorled; the broad petals are 
slightly folded lengthwise, making them appear rather narrow. 
The plants are extremely vigorous, and they carry about twelve 
large flowers on strong stems. Pkt. 25 cts.; Msoz. 75 cts.; 
M[oz. $1.25.
