FLORISTS’ AND MARKET GROWERS’ CATALOG—STUMPP & WALTER CO., 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.
