FLORISTS’ AND MARKET GROWERS’ CATALOG—STUMPP & WALTER CQ., NEW YORK 8, N. Y- 
S. & W. CO.'S WILT-RESISTANT ASTERS 
For several years our growers have been 
working on a strain of Asters resistant 
to the Fusarium Wilt Disease which has 
caused so much trouble to gardeners in 
recent years. Although no method of 
control has been discovered, we believe 
prevention through the use of wilt-re- 
sistant strains of seed is the only prac- 
tical method of combating the disease. 
We feel sure that by sowing this seed 
many disappointments due to crop fail- 
ures will be eliminated.
