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 yel- 
lows disease. Occa-- 
sional spraying or 
dusting with this last- 
ing insecticide should 
is the chief enemy of 
these beautiful 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 vigorous and 
less susceptible to 
other infections.
