CREGO’S GIANT COMET ASTER 
Our illustration can do but partial justice to this grand 
flower. The twisted and curled petals give the flower the 
appearance of a huge chrysanthemum. The flowers are very 
large, often measuring 5 inches in diameter. The strong, 
erect stems average 20 to 24 inches in length. Though the 
flowers are large they are produced in abundance.

SUNSHINE MIXED 
The color in these new Asters is startlingly 
beautiful. A dual-tone effect is obtained 
through the contrasting tints of the disc-like 
center and the outer or guard petals. Grace- 
fulness of form is a distinguishing character- 
istic. The full centers of tabular, bifurcate 
petals surround the center, creating an airy, 
lace-like effect, which ig altogether charm- 
ing. In color, the flowers may be described 
as varying shades of Enchantress-pink, Ap- 
pleblossom, Deep-rose, Blue and Lavender, 
but the disc, sometimes light yellow, some- 
times blue, brings additional variety in tint. 
A bouquet comprising the complete ensemble 
of shades, presents delicate graduations of 
color as well as startling color contrasts 
which enchant the eye of the beholder. We 
feel confident this glorious new strain will 
be acclaimed a distinct acquisition to modern
