BURNETT-SEEDSMEN Z. 
Asters. : (Wilt Ressstant ) 
Need no introduction, but what is Wilt Resistant Aster Seed? It’s a strain 
of seed produced from plants that were grown in heavily wilt-infested soil. 
It is reasonable to infer that if a strain was able to grow to full maturity 
and bear seed, it’s genera or offspring must likewise be immune to wilt. 
Don’t take chances, sow Wilt Resistant Strain Asters wherever possible.

pink, azure, rose, crimson, white, scarlet 
and blue, so solidly made of 3 to 314 inch 
fully-double flowers that the foliage liter- 
ally cannot be seen! Each plant is 24 
inches high, yet takes less than 12 inches 
of space—all the flowers are on top—as 
many as 20 long-stemmed cut-flowers per 
plant. August blooming; highly wilt-re- 
sistant of course.
