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
