ASTER * Wilt Resistant Strains 
The most pretentious Aster improvement program that has been 
undertaken is the development of wilt-resistant strains. Although not 
novelties in the true sense of the word, we consider these Wilt- 
resistant Asters among the most noteworthy introductions of our 
long experience in the seed business. Only through the use of re- 
sistant stocks is it possible successfully to grow Asters more than 
one year in the same soil. Wilt-resistant Asters will justify the ex- 
pense of higher price for seed. We are offering as far as we can 
from originator’s stock, seed of this type. 
One of the most highly prized and best known annuals. Should 
be sown from middle of March to first of May and when an inch 
high, transplanted into pots or boxes and planted out in open ground 
lastof May. Ground should be well manured and thoroughly worked. 
Seed sown in open ground from middle of April until June make 
excellent late blooms.
