Michell’s Superb Asters 
We wish to emphasize the fact that our Asters are grown for us by 
specialists, and nearly all varieties under our own supervision. 
Michell’s “‘Distinctive’’ Quality is nowhere more prominent than 
with our Asters. 
SPECIAL NOTE.—In growing Asters, old soil and flats should 
never be used the second time without thoroughly sterilizing, to avoid 
the numerous diseases to which Asters are so susceptible. Barnyard 
manure should never be employed as a fertilizer. We recommend the 
use of finely ground bonemeal. Asters should not be grown in the 
same location two years In succession. 
Fusarium- Wilt Resistant Strains 
These we believe to be practically immune to this disease. We feel 
sure that by using this seed many disappointments due to crop fail- 
ures will be eliminated.
