| ried on untreated Aster 
| seed, on the implements 
used in preparing the 
soil, and in the soil it- 
self. When once intro- 
duced into the soil, it 
persists indefinitely, so 
that whenever an ordinary 
strain of Asters is plant- 
ed, the wilt fungus liv- 
ing in the soil will attack 
the plants at some stage 
of their growth. 
A wilt resistant strain 
of Asters is one which is 
highly immune to ‘‘wilt 
disease’’ and which, 
when planted on the very 
sickest soil, will with- 
stand the attacks of the 
fungus and develop into 
strong healthy plants.

In point of beauty very few flowers approach the 
Antirrhinum or-Snapdragon, yet this most beautiful 
flower lost favor for several years because of the 
ravages of the rust disease. After several years of 
painstaking experimentation a strain was developed 
which is immune to rust. 85% of the plants, when 
exposed to the most severe rust conditions, will re- 
main completely immune in all instances. 
The Giant Rust-Proof produces flower spikes 3 ft. 
tall and the individual flowers grow up to 1% inches 
across. We can supply select seed of the following 
colors: 
Campfire. Luminous scarlet; free from orange or bluish tinges. 
Crimson. 
Canary Bird. Canary Yellow. 
Loveliness. Pure soft rose-pink. 
Shasta. Pure white. 
Mixed. Fine mixture of colors.
