Asters . (Wilt Resistant ) 
Need no introduction, but what is Wilt Resistant Aster Seed? It’s a strain 
of seed produced from plants that were grown in heavily wilt-infested soil. 
It is reasonable to infer that if a strain was able to grow to full maturity 
and bear seed, it’s genera or offspring must likewise be immune to wilt. 
Don’t take chances, sow Wilt Resistant Strain Asters wherever possible. 

Asters prefer rich sandy or loamy 
soil. Use well rotted manure or 
phosphate fertilizer. Cultivate and 
water regularly. Sow seeds six 
weeks before intended transplant- 
ing; water immediately after. Set 
tall varieties 18 in. apart, medium 
sorts 12 in. apart, dwarf types 9 
in. apart.
