SEEDS OF ANNUAL FLOWERS 
Where quantities smaller than Trade Packages are wanted we can supply retail packages as offered in our Retail 
Seed Book at at discount to Commercial Growers of 25%. 
We fully realize how important it is that the Florist receive the very best strains obtainable and we spare no 
pains or expense in procuring them for him. Our seeds are as fine as can be grown by the most expert flower seed 
growers in this country and in Europe. 
Wilt Resistant Asters 
We recommend all Aster growers, whether 
they have been bothered with disease or not, 
to use “wilt-resistant” seed wherever pos¬ 
sible. We feel sure that by sowing “wilt-resist¬ 
ant” seed many disappointments due to Aster 
crop failures will be eliminated. No grower, 
that we know of, would think of using ordinary 
Aster seed, after once having used “Wilt- 
Resistant.” 
QUEEN OF THE MARKET ASTERS 
Wilt-Resistant Seed 
This extra-early variety should be started 
in the hot-bed or greenhouse in March and

the weather permits.
