Curriers Choice American Asters 



ASTER 



GIANT CALIFORNIA 



SUNSHINE 



This supremely beautiful new race 

 of Asters is the result of a direct 

 cross between Aster California 

 Giant and the Dwarf Sunshine type. 



The plants grow three feet high 

 and bear blossoms five and six 

 inches on long stiff stems. 



The dual-tone color effects formed 

 by the quilled discs and encircling 

 guard petals are lovely beyond de- 

 scription. The quilled discs are light- 

 er than the guard petals and as the 

 flowers get older, the lemon centers 

 turn to the color of the quilled discs. 



These Asters proved so variable that it has 

 been a very difficult task to segregate and 

 obtain pure line strains in separate colors. 

 After a number of years of intensive effort, 

 we feel justified in introducing four sep- 

 arate colors which come as true to form, 

 color and type as we believe it is possible 

 to obtain. The few off-types produced are 

 generally singles and have longer stems, 

 than any single Aster in commerce. 



We strongly recommend these lovely- 

 Asters.

ASTER LILLIPUT FLOWERED 



Comparing in size with the Lilliput Zinnias, 

 these baby flowered asters fill a very definite 

 place in the border or cutflower garden. The flow- 

 ers are tiny and buttonlike in form, coming in 

 profuse clusters on medium length stems, lending 

 themselves very gracefully to flower arrangement 

 or for a colorful border in the garden. The colors 

 are bright and clear cut, some varieties having a 

 deeper zone at the center. Pkt., 15c.
