Giant Asters 
Wilt-Resistant 
In some localities Aster plantings have 
often been a failure with home garden- 
ers. Aster wilt is caused by a parasitic 
fungus, a disease difficult to overcome 
once it has made-its appearance in the 
soil. Wilt-Resistant strains are immune 
from the disease and have proved excep- 
tionally valuable wherever the wilt dis- 
ease has made Aster growing difficult.
