1 P11 1 / 1 / Ml I iJEjOIX growers of Zinnia Seed. 
ASTERS. (HHA.) 
Asters have always been one of the favorite American flowers 
but the past few years disease in many sections has made it 
impossible to grow them. Plant breeders have now developed 
new wilt resistant sorts that are destined to bring this gor¬ 
geous flower back into the front ranks of easily grown an¬ 
nuals. Favorable reports as to the value of the resistant strains 
have been received from all sections of the United States. Even 
in soil not affected with rot, we believe you will And these 
strains more vigorous and safer than the ordinary ones.

FROM FRESNO, CALIF. I can truthfully say that the most beautiful scenery 
we encountered throughout our 3,000 mile trip last summer was the enormous 
fields of Zinnias near Rocky Ford.

most beautiful flowers I ever saw.
