FOR BETTER ASTERS 
In addition to using the best wilt resistant strains: 
Set your plants in soil which has not had a crop of Asters 
on it recently or sterilize the soil. 
Put your outside plantings in a cloth house to prevent 
leat hoppers from bringing in Aster Yellows. 
Avoid checking plant growth. Grow your seedlings in 
plant bands to prevent root injury in transplanting. See 
page 84. 
TILFORD’S RESISTANT STRAIN 
Developed by Dr. Paul Tilford of Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station 
in cooperation with the Ohio Florists Association after years of research, 
this strain has proved very resistant to wilt in many sections. Resistance 
has been 80% and over in soil where ordinary Asters were 100% 
diseased. All are Royal type except Crego Deep Rose which has lost 
most of its Crego characteristics and is now more nearly Royal type.
