Bodger’s Wilt Resistant Asters 
We do not attempt to list all varieties of Asters that are grown, but we are listing 
what we feel is best for the Commercial Grower. We can supply any variety that 
is wanted. The Asters listed are Wilt Resistant unless otherwise marked. Since the 
use of lights brings into bloom varieties of later types, which are of finer quality, 
earlier-the Queen of the Markets are not in heavy demand.
