Asters is caused by a par- 
asitic fungus, which may 
stage in its growth from 
the seedling to the seed- 
producing age. The spores 
may be carried on the 
seed, on implements used 
in preparing the soil and 
the soil itself. When once 
introduced into the soil, it 
persists indefinitely and 
makes the land ‘‘Aster 
sick.” 
A wilt-resistant strain 
of Asters is one which, 
although planted on the 
sick soil will withstand 
the attacks of the fungus 
and develop into strong, 
healthy plants, while the 
non-resistant strains may 
succumb. 
Much disappointment on 
account of Aster Wilt has 
been overcome by the use 
of Wilt-Resistant strains.
