ASTERS 
Annual. The queen of the summer-blooming plants. Varieties 
listed represent the finest Asters of the early (1), midseason (2); 
and late (3) types. Require a rich soil with ample water, and a 
sunny exposure. ASTER WILT 
The wilt disease of 
Asters is caused by a para- 
sitic fungus, which may 
attack the plant at any 
stage in its growth from 
the seedling to the seed- 
producing age. The spores 
may be carried on the 
seed, on implements used 
in preparing the soil and 
the soil itself. When once 
introduced into the soil, it 
persists indefinitely and 
makes the land “aster 
sick.” 
A wilt-resistant strain 
of Asters is one which, 
although planted on the 
sick soil will withstand 
the attacks of the fungus 
and develop into strong, 
healthy plants, while the 
non-resistant strains may 
succumb. ° 
Much disappointment on 
account of Aster Wilt has 
been overcome by the use 
of Wilt-Resistant strains.
