Asters Resistant to Wilt 
Annual. Asters should have an open, sunny position, and prefer a good, rich, loamy soil; 
do not grow them on the same ground two years in succession. Seeds may be started in a 
sunny window, hotbed or coldframe in April and transferred to the garden as soon as danger 
of frost has gone. May also be sown outside in May. Allow 1 feet between plants. 
All colors are now available in varieties that are highly wilt-resistant. They are not im¬ 
mune to “Yellows,” however, although they are very robust and less likely to be affected 
than old-time sorts.
