WILT RESISTANT ASTERS 
For several years our grower has been working 
on this problem. In time, it is expected to have 
practically all varieties with resistance to Fusarium 
wilt. 
American Branching. Plants large, vigorous, 
branching with strong stems. Flowers of large 
size, very full to the center. Our strain of this 
superb aster has been grown with such care we 
unhesitatingly believe it is unsurpassed.

Beauty Asters. (Early Type). This type, recent¬ 
ly introduced, has all the characteristics of the 
Late Beauty type; strong branching plants; long 
stems; large, well-formed flowers, and is valuable 
for location where the season is too short to flower 
the Late Beauty (latest of all Asters). It is not 
an early Aster as compared to Queen of the Mar¬ 
ket, but earlier than Late Beauty. Blooms at the 
same time as American Branching and flower is of 
that type, but larger. Wilt Resistant Strains.

Giants of California. We highly recommend this 
grand Aster to both Florists and private gardeners. 
Great improvement has been made in this pleasing 
type since its introduction. Giants of California 
are by far the largest and most beautiful of the 
Crego or Chrysanthemum class. The flowers meas¬ 
ure up to six inches across, packed with broad pet¬ 
als, and may be grown with stems 30 inches long.
