Peerless Pink Aster 
NEW WILT-RESISTANT ASTERS 
Asters are a Harris Specialty. Each year we have very complete plantings and offer you only those kinds which 
proved to be the most satisfactory for color, growth in the garden, and for cut flowers. This eliminates duplication 
and confusion. As fast as the most desirable of the kinds are developed to be resistant to the disease known as “aster 
wilt,” or “stem rot” we include them in our list. 
Sow Aster Seed Outdoors. It is not necessary to start Aster seed in the house in order to have good flowers. 
They can very successfully be sown directly into the garden and later thinned or transplanted to the proper distance. 
However, the seed must be sown as early as possible.
