New Wilt-Resistant Asters 
Aster growers have been troubled with pests of recent years. This 
family has been widely attacked by the Fusarium Wilt, which condition 
has been overcome in growing the Wilt Resistant Strains which, although 
grown in infected soil, proved immune from the disease. Aster Yellows 
is also an enemy. This has been found to be transferred to the plants 
by tiny insects called leaf hoppers. The only means to overcome this 
is to grow the plants under a cheese cloth cover.
