BALL Resistant Asters—continued 
TILFORD’S RESISTANT ASTERS 
The following four Asters have been developed by Dr. Paul 
Tilford of Ohio State University in cooperation with the 
Ohio Florists Association. While we have had no chance to 
observe trial plantings of these varieties under our own con- 
ditions, we do know that a lot of work has been done with 
them by skilled plant scientists under Dr. Tilford’s careful 
supervision. All of the following are of the Royal type and 
resistance is reported as being unusually high. 
Royal Purple Royal Light Pink 
Royal White Royal Dark Rose 
The above are available in Original Trade Packets only at 
$1.50 per packet. 

Princess or Anemone 
These types have crested or cushioned anemone centers, forming 
fairly hard flowers suited for shipping. Our trials show most of 
them to be rather uncertain in wilt-resistance. 
*Princess Golden Sheaf. Large flowered with outer petals a 
creamy white shading toward a deeper yellow cushion. A popu- 
lar commercial variety. 
*Princess Barbara (New). Very attractive orchid. 
*Princess Marsha. CROP FAILURE. 
*Princess Anne. Light rose pink with cream cushion. 
*Princess Bonnie. Silvery-rose with golden center deepening as 
flower matures.
