ASTER SUPER GIANT LOS ANGELES 



Aster Los Angeles is the first variety of this giant race, 

 and how beautifully it upholds the romantic traditions of 

 its namesake, the glamorous city of sunshine and flowers. 

 The color is a serenely pure shell pink, in flowers which 

 are full petaled, deep, and unusually large, yet artistically 

 graceful in the feathery effect of the interlacing petals. 

 Loosely arranged in a tall pewter vase the long stemmed 

 flowers lend a feeling of quiet dignity to any decorative 

 arrangement. In the annual border or cut flewer bed in 

 the garden, they stand majestically above their fellow 

 asters, and show up to best advantage when combined 

 with a planting of the Blue Lace Flower, Didiscus. Pkt., 

 25c. 



ASTER WILT RESISTANT BLUE FLAME 



In line with the times, we offer Blue Flame, one of the 

 contributions to the code for better flowers. The color is 

 a bright navy blue, distinct from any other dark blue or 

 purple aster now offered. Of the Giant Branching Comet 

 class, with large comet-type flowers, fully double, on 

 branching plants, suitable for cutting or garden use. Pkt., 

 25c. 



Aster Los Angeles 



ASTER PAEONY FLOWERED PURPLE ROBE 



Each season sees additions to this superb type of Aster. 

 This is the only purple in the Paeony Flowered type, the 

 flowers are large, well formed, fully double, of a very deep 

 shade of purple blue. Pkt., 15c. 



ASTER GIANT SINGLE CURLED 

 IMPERIAL RED 



This is a Giant Single Aster with beautifully curled 

 and interlaced petals. The color is the same as Aster 

 Heart of France, an intense brilliant red, which is empha- 

 sized by the bright yellow center. The color is so bright 

 that it instantly catches the eye. This Aster is a strong 

 grower and is about one and one half feet high and has 

 good stems, it produces many flowers to the plant and is 

 Wilt Resistant. Pkt., 15c. 



ARCTOTIS HYBRIDS 



Another of the lovely flowers which have come to us 

 lately from Africa. The hybrids come in a brilliant as- 

 sortment of showy daisy-like flowers predominating in 

 orange and bronzy red shades, but also comprising many 

 lovely shades of rose, cream, yellow and salmon. In the 

 milder climates they may be classed as a perennial, but 

 in the northern latitudes they are better treated as an 

 annual. They flower within six months from seed, and 

 bloom profusely through the hot summer season. Pkt., 15c. 



ARMERIA LAUCHEANA— r/>M;ar/ Thrift) 



Most of us know the Giant Thrift, but we have not yet 

 become so familiar with the dwarf strain. Laucheana is 

 a very free flowering, dwarf variety, with medium sized 

 flower heads of deep rose. They combine very nicely with 

 Forget-me-nots in the rockery or dwarf border. Pkt., 10c. 



ASTER WILT RESISTANT 

 GOLDEN SHEAF 



We take pleasure in offering Aster Golden 

 Sheaf, the deepest yellow aster yet offered, and 

 the only one that is Wilt Resistant. The flowers 

 are double, with an attractive crest-like center, 

 of good substance and fine depth of petal, it has 

 all of the characteristics of the Aurora type of 

 aster so popular with the florists. The flowers 

 last well when cut. Pkt., 25c.
