10 PERRY SEED COMPANY 

PERRYS PRIZE WILT RESISTANT ASTERS 
W | LT most commonly occurs in the hot mid-Summer 
months just as the buds are beginning to open. 
The plant wilts, the leaves first turn yellow, then brown 
and curl, finally dying. The remedy is to use Wilt Resis- 
tant Strains that have proven so valuable to Florists that 
wherever available we offer them to the exclusion of 
others. The Aster ‘‘yellows’’ is quite a different disease 
that can best be avoided by growing your crop under 
cloth to prevent infestation by the insects spreading it. 
UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, ALL OUR SEEDS ARE 
OF A WILT RESISTANT STRAIN.
