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 im- 
possible 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.
