ASTER WILT 
RESISTANT 
STRAINS 
Good news for all 
who have had trouble 
in growing Asters, is 
that DDT will kill leaf 
hoppers, which  trans- 
mit the yellows dis- 
ease, for which has 
hitherto been no reli- 
able treatment. Occa- 
sional spraying or dust- 
ing with this lasting in- 
secticide should protect 
your Asters from infec- ~ 
tion, which is the chief 
enemy of these beauti- 
ful flowers in sections 
where the wilt disease 
is not established in 
the soil. Wilt resistant 
varieties are resistant 
only to wilt, but in 
general are more vig- 
orous and less suscepti- 
ble to other infections.
