FRASER & SON, California Seed Growers 
w. R. = WILT-RESISTANT ASTERS 
The development of Wilt-Resistant Asters represents one of 
the greatest advances ever made through plant selections. 
Years of painstaking and careful work were reqrired to de¬ 
velop Wilt-Resistant varieties which make it possible to grow 
good Asters on soil infected with wilt disease. 
AMERICAN BRANCHING ASTERS—Late 
This has been the standard Late Branching Aster for many 
years. The plants grow into strong well-branched bushes, 2 to 
21/2 feet high, always carrying a large number of giant blooms 
which even under ordinary culture measure 5 inches across. 
The blooms are supported on long strong stems. They are 
usually at their best during September.

3299 Single Rainbow Aster. Pkt. 15c. 
Single Asters 3 to 4 inches across are more largely grown each 
season, and we do not know of any class of flowers so 
valuable for cutting as these when the days are shortening. 
The Rainbow is a great improvement on the original Chinese 
Aster; not only have larger flowers been attained, but our 
strain comes earlier into bloom. The plants are very free- 
growing, and require spacing at least 2 to 2 V 2 feet to admit 
of full development of the flower-stems, which are often 18 
inches in length. The large daisy-like blossoms appear in the 
greatest profusion and are exquisite in bouquets.
