Asters have always been one of ene 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

not affected with rot, you will find these strains more vigorous 
than the ordinary ones.

fully double and very large. Long petals are curled and

The boys in the service are doing their part. One cannot 
help but feel humble when reading of the Captain in the 
South Pacific who said “God bless Grumman,” or the boy 
who writes home “Mom, the fellows rained compliments at 
me to tell you how much they enjoyed your cookies.” The 
folks at home may face those that return eye to eye if they 
“Get there fustest with the mostest and the bestest” both of 
material and spiritual support.
