Everyone 
Can Easily 
Grow Asters 
During the past few 
years it has become 
rather discouraging to at- 
tempt growing the ordi- 
nary strains of Aster, 
due to the so-called ‘‘wilt 
disease.’’? The spores of 
this fungus may be car- 
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. 
Correctly treated seed 
is disease-free and will 
not carry ‘‘wilt’’ or any 
other disease, but the 
treatment will not prevent 
plants from contracting 
diseases that may already 
be in your soil or carried 
by insects. All our Aster 
seed is treated, but if the 
disease now exists in your 
locality, we especially rec- 
ommend our Wilt-Resist- 
ant strains. 

Ageratum and Alyssum are exceptionally good 
varieties for rock gardens, border work and win-

Wilt Resistant Golden Sheaf 
Wilt Resistant Golden Sheaf 
THE FINEST YELLOW ASTER 
Golden Sheaf is the deepest yellow Aster yet offered. The flowers 
are of good size, fully double, with an_ attractive erest-like cen- 
ter cushion of quill-like petals surrounded by an outer band of 
several rows of broad petals. Very popular with florists. The 
flowers last well when cut. Pkt., 15c3 % oz., 50c; 44 o2., 90c. 

Giant Rust-Resistant 
SNAPDRAGONS 
or Antirrhinum 
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 114 inches 
across. We ¢an supply select seed of the following 
colors: 
Campfire. 
tinges. 
Crimson. 
Canary Bird. Canary Yellow. 
Loveliness. Pure soft rose-pink. 
Rosalie. Large flowered deep rosé.
