ASTER ¢ Wilt Resistant Strains 
The most pretentious Aster improvement program that has been 
undertaken is the development of wilt-resistant strains. Although not 
novelties in the true sense of the word, we consider these Wilt- 
resistant Asters among the most noteworthy introductions of our 
long experience in the seed business. Only through the use of re- 
sistant stocks is it possible successfully to grow Asters more than 
one year in the same soil. Wilt-resistant Asters will justify the ex- 
pense of higher price for seed. We are offering as far as we can 
from originator’s stock, seed of this type.
