We fully realize how important it is that the Florist receive the very best strains obtainable and we spare no 
pains or expense in procuring them for him. Our seeds are as fine as can be grown by the most expert flower seed 
growers in this country and in Europe. 
Wilt-Resistant Aster 
Seed 
We recommend all Aster groWei's, whether 
they have been bothered with disease or not, 
to use "wilt-resistant” seed wherever pos¬ 
sible. We feel sure that by sowing “wilt-resist- 
ant” seed many disappointments due to Aster 
crop failures will be eliminated. This year we 
offer “wilt-resistant” seed of thirty-six kinds. 
More will be ready next season. No grower, 
that we know of, would think of using ordinary 
Aster seed, after once having used “Wilt- 
Resistant.” 
QUEEN OF THE MARKET ASTERS 
This extra-early variety should be started 
in the hot-bed or greenhouse in March and 
transplanted to the open ground as soon as 
the weather permits. All varieties “Wilt- 
Resistant.”
