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

is not established in 
the soil. Wilt resistant 
varieties are resistant
