 flowers on long, strong stems; a fine, dark varietv. Per pkt.,

GIANT OF CALIFORNIA ASTERS 



Characterized by the well known Crego or 

 Ostrich Feather type of flower, combined with 

 the Beauty Aster's long, non-lateral stems and 

 sturdy habit of growth, the California Giant 

 type heads the list of the finer type Asters, not 

 only for florists' use, but also for private gar- 

 dens where quality is appreciated. The large 

 flowers are packed with broad, graceful pet- 

 als, borne on stems over two feet long. The 

 plants grow from two and a half to three feet, 

 starting to flower in late August.

NEW WILT-RESISTANT STRAINS 

 OF ASTERS 



For several years the largest seed growers 

 and the Department of Plant Pathology of the 

 University of Wisconsin have been working 

 on a strain of Asters resistant to the Fusarium 

 wilt disease which has caused so much trouble 

 to Aster growers. The plants may be stricken 

 with the wilt at any stage of their growth, 

 from the seedling to the flowering stage, and 

 as yet no method of control has been discov- 

 ered. We believe prevention through highly 

 wilt-resistant strains is the method of com- 

 bating the disease. 



GIANT CREGO OR GIANT BRANCH- 

 ING COMET ASTERS 



Beautiful large colorful flowers, 4 to 5 in. 

 in diameter. Blooms are fully double, about 

 2y2 in. thick, carried on long, strong stems. 

 The individual petals are gracefully curled 

 and twisted, giving the whole flower an artis- 

 tic appearance not unlike a Japanese Chrys- 

 anthemum. Plants grow 2 ft. tall, and bloom 

 from late August until the end of September.
