Beautiful New Wilt-Resistant 
and Giant Strains of Asters 
Aster, Super Giant El Monte 
Asters are among the most popular sum¬ 
mer and fall flowering annuals. They come 
in a great variety of classes and an end¬ 
less number of shades. They are profuse 
bloomers and the flowers adapt them¬ 
selves to table and house decorations. 
Seed may be sown in boxes early in the 
spring, protecting them from frost and then 
transplanting them to their permanent 
bed; or they can be sown where they are 
to remain after the danger of frost is over 
and when the soil is warm. Good culture 
is essential in order to obtain an abun¬ 
dance of fine flowers. 
ASTER WILT RESISTANT STRAINS 
The Aster Wilt disease is caused by a 
parasitic fungus which is carried on the 
seed, tools, and in the soil, and once it is 
introduced in the soil it persists indefinite¬ 
ly. Consequently the only way to grow 
Asters more than one year in the same 
soil is to use resistant stocks. 
SUPER GIANT —- This is the largest and 
most fully double Aster class known. The 
flowers are from 6 to 8 inches across, 
bautifully petaled with graceful interlacing 
petals. The plants are strong and sturdy 
growers about 2 feet tall, and having 6-8 
long, non-lateral stems per plant. These 
early blooming plants are highly desirable 
garden subjects.
