ASTERS 



R. G. FRASER & SON, *^"'{IS1iS'?.?^er'' Pasadena, California 



ASTERS— (American Beauty). This is one Aster 

 that can be grown both in early spring and in late fall. 

 It is, therefore, the peer of Asters for the florist. 

 Offered in old rose, September pink, purple, lavender 

 and mixed. Trade packet, 50c. 



ASTERS— (Fraser's California Crego). Veryflaffy 



and borne on unusually strong stem. Yon have always 

 had visions of such an aster. We are offering it in rose, 

 pink, white, blue, lavender and mixed. Trade

few years some varieties would be lost, 

 while others would be in superabun- 

 dance. Besides the 'two ])oi)ular kinds 

 mentioned above, which are the only 

 ones to be sent out this season, there 

 are over a thousand selected, trued-u]) 

 crosses in almost every imaginable 

 color. It is ol)vioiiHly ini])ossil)le to de- 

 scril)e even a traction of them. There 

 is variation in hal)it, in stem, in size 

 and in contour of blossom; in fact, in 

 almost every characteristic. But there 

 is not a single variety but has some 

 extra fine points al)Out it. Any tyj)es 

 not showing these are ])ut immediately 

 in the (liscar<l and, as every hybridist 

 will sii])|)os(', a great many lijive gone 

 this way. 



There is ;i lieautiful variety, or rather 

 group of varieties, for there are sever.al 

 colors, that Mr. Frey calls Wistaria. 

 Tlit>v liave long, semi-pendent racemes 

 of flowers, l)orne on wiry stems about 

 eighteen to twenty four inches in length, 

 .■iiid have ;i most artistic effect. A finer 

 flower for bjisket work can fiardly be 

 im.'igined. Then there is a sjilendid 

 stifl'-stemmed yellow with flute(l flowers, 

 (|nite distinct ;ind ])leasing. A deep 

 red, .almost crimson, takes tlie eye read- 

 ily among the other sh.ades, this being 

 a dw.'irf in habit, l)ut most florifercuis. 

 The dee]) bines iire .'ilso most attractive, 

 wiiile tlie sli.'iih's of carmine, rose and 

 or.'inge are ,'il] tine in their w;iy. It 

 sliould be noted th;it .'ill these ;ire sc 

 lected and grown under number, each 

 variety being ke])t separate. The work 

 of keei)ing the records of all these must 

 ))e great, but botli Mr. and Mrs. Frey 

 are enthusi;ists. Without their en 

 tlinsi;ism and l()\e <if their work, such 

 results could ne\er be attained. There 

 is soinctliiiig tiiggcr ;ind deepei' tli;iM 

 the fln;iiu-i;il end. though this will 

 doubtless lie s;it isf ;ictory. Ideill liouic 

 conditions, with excrything ne(>ded for 

 the conduct of this most interesting 

 Jihasc of the business, must lead to tlie 

 ]pros]ierity whiidi is wished them by ;i 

 host of fri^'iids ;Mid business associates.
