You Can Grow 
I N SOME localities 
Aster plantings have 
often been a failure with 
home gardeners. Aster 
wilt is caused by a parasitic 
fungus, a disease difficult 
to overcome once it has 
made its appearance in the 
soil. Wilt-Resistant strains 
are immune from the dis¬ 
ease and have proved ex' 
ceptionally valuable wher- 
ever the wilt disease has 
made Aster growing dif¬ 
ficult.

teristic is ideal for cutting.
