Wilt-Resistant Asters 
Wilt or sten^rot has deprived many flower lovers in sections 
all oyer the U. S. of the lovely Aster! Loss of seedlings or trans- 
planted plants, stunted, one-sided and off color plants in those 
that survive, dark colored streaks in the stem, yellowing of 
the upper leaves and death of the lower leaves are character¬ 
istics of wily or stem-rot. The wilt organisms are capable of 
prolonged existence in one’s soil and the only remedv is WILT- 
RESISTANT SEED. ^ «meuy is 
Our seed is practically immime to the ravages of wilt and 
produces an abundance of flowers on soil upon which ordinary 
seed would not possibly gi’ow. In one severe test, plants from 
this wilt-resistant seed grew splendidly while 93% from ordi¬ 
nary seed succumbed.
