SOMERSET’S 
Fine Asters 
(12,000 seeds per oz.) 
PRINCESS CREGO 
EARLY ROYAL CALIF. SUNSHINE 
Wilt Resistant Asters are the result of many years of selection. The disease organism is carried in the soil and persists indefi- 
nitely. It is easily spread and may only be destroyed by sterilization. 
Yellows is spread mainly by leaf hoppers, and, to prevent infection, cloth or greenhouse protection is necessary. Spraying the 
plants and surrounding vegetation with DDT will help. Seed sown February 15th and lighted, as soon as it comes up, will 
flower in late June or early July. 6 x 6 spacing for single or double stems is ample. 
(Varieties most popular with our customers are marked *.)

while cutflower.
