ASTERS (Callistephus) □ 
Culture, 1, 2, or 5. Normal germination, 5-10 days 
Chrysanthemum-like flowers, not surpassed in beauty by any 
plant. A supply of Asters may be had from July until frost, 
by planting an early variety like Queen of the Market, followed 
by a later sort such as American Branching. To insure early 
blooming, seeds may be sown under glass in April and then 
transplanted to outside beds after all danger from frost is over. 
We owe our garden Asterz to China and Japan. 
Fusarlum Wilt-Resistant Strains —We are glad to offer 
originator’s stock of the following strains of Asters, which we 
believe to be resistant to this disease which i s so rapidly Bpread¬ 
ing throughout the world. Do not confuse “yellows” with 
“wilt”, however, as "yellows” can only be controlled by use 
of a 3-4-50 Bordeaux Mixture with which plants should be 
sprayed at intervals of 7 to 10 days. Though we noticed 
yellows in our trials last Summer, we saw absolutely no sign 
of wilt where we had used resistant seed, and we advise all 
our friends to insist on wilt-resistant strains. 
Landreths' American Branching (Also known as Vick’s 
Branching)— We cannot recommend the American Branching 
type too highly. Very free blooming, producing flowers of the 
broad-petaled type, slightly incurved and very lasting. Hand¬ 
some double flowers borne on long stems, a free brancher and 
unsurpassed in merit. 24 inches tall. Wilt resistant.
