ASTER WILT 
RESISTANT 
STRAINS 
Good news for all 
who have had trouble 
in growing Asters, is 
that Marlate (p. 74) will 
kill leaf hoppers, which 
transmit the yellows dis- 
ease. Occasional spray- 
ing or dusting with this 
lasting insecticide should 
protect your Asters from 
infection, which is the 
chief enemy of these 
beautiful flowers in sec- 
tions where the wilt dis- 
ease is not established 
in the soil. Wilt resistant 
varieties are resistant 
only to wilt, but in 
general are more vigor- 
ous and less susceptible 
to other infections.
