Sunshine Asters Are Gay and Charming 

PERRY’S PRIZE ASTERS 
WILT-RESISTANT STRAINS. Wilt most commonly occurs in the hot Midsummer months just as the buds are beginning to open. 
The plant wilts, the leaves first turn yellow, thenjbrown and curl, finally dying. The remedy is to use Wilt-resistant Strains that have proven 
so valuable that wherever available we offer them to the exclusion of others. Plants grown from Wilt-resistant Strains are not immune to the 
disease known as Aster ‘‘yellows,’’ which is quite different and is transmitted by insects. However, they are not so susceptible to infection 
from it as they have a sturdier constitution.
