Asters of the Finest Grown 
Remember all the sorts listed are wilt resistant and there was no disease in 
our fields. Packets are liberally filled and well worth the price. We are 
pleased to recommend our aster seed to the most critical florist trade as well 
as the home gardeners who take pride in their surroundings. 
Asters have always been one of the favorite American flowers but the past 
few years disease in many sections has made it impossible to grow them, 
Plant breeders have now developed new wilt resistant sorts that are destined 
to bring this gorgeous flower back into the front ranks of easily grown 
annuals. Even in soil not affected with rot, you will find these strains more 
vigorous than the ordinary ones. 
Asters Giant Improved Crego Wilt Resistant. These are fully 
double and very large. Long petals are curled and twisted 
as though the flower had been whirled. The sturdy plants grow 
about 24 inches tall, the stems are long. Crego Asters are among 
the most desired.

Asters Giant Branching Wilt Resistant. These are a few days 
later than Crego, the petals incurved and stems long. In

sort attracted the attention of all who saw it. When cut and prop- 
erly cared for, the blooms will keep beautifully 10 days or more.
