Wilt-Resistant Asters 
Wilt-resistant Asters will successfully 
solve your past difficulty in growing these 
beautiful fall flowers. Many gardeners 
have had to abandon all attempt to grow 
Asters because of wilt. No practical wilt 
control has yet been discovered. The fol¬ 
lowing highly resistant strains have been 
developed from plants which through 
several years of production under severe 
wilt conditions, have survived untouched. 
The resultant seed now makes possible 
perfect fall displays of this popular An¬ 
nual.
