A wilt resistant strain 
of Asters is one which is 
highly immune to ‘‘wilt

when planted on the very 
sickest soil, will with-

or Antirrhinum | 4 
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 144 inches 
across. We can supply select seed of the following 
colors: 
Campfire. Luminous scarlet; free 
from orange or bluish tinges.
