Wilt'Resistctnt Types Restoring Popularity of Asters 
Burnett’s Beautiful Asters 
The introduction of a Wilt-resistant strain of Asters of recent years has helped tremendously in restoring this beautiful flower to popular 
favor as a garden plant. Up until the time of the origination of this resistant strain, garden enthusiasts were becoming discouraged trying to 
grow Asters outdoors with the wilt-disease so prevalent. The appearance of this new strain has again awakened interest in the culture of Asters. 
For best results the ground cannot be too richly prepared. Plants from seed sown in the open ground in May will bloom in September 
and October. For July and August flowers .sow in March or April in cold frames or hotbeds. We especially recommend the following as 
being the best for cutting and general garden use. 
LATE GIANT BRANCHING 
Wilt-resistant 
These are, without doubt, the finest Asters 
grown for late use. The plants are of vigorous 
growth and covered with large, long-stem¬ 
med flowers, graceful and feathery in effect.
