Aster New Super Giant Los Angeles 



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 in their growth, 

 from the seedling to the flowering stage, and 

 as yet no method of control has been discovered. 

 We believe prevention through highly wilt- 

 resistant strains is the method of combating 

 the disease. 



The following are wilt-resistant strains and 

 are practically immune to this disease:

ASTER SUPER GIANT LOS ANGELES 



Aster Los Angeles is the first variety of this giant 

 race, and how beautifully it upholds the romantic tradi- 

 tions 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 inter- 

 lacing 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 flower 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., 35c. 



ASTER GIANT MAMMOTH PAEONY 

 FLOWERED SILVERY ROSE 



This is a fine long-stemmed variety, of true Paeony 

 flowered type with immense flowers of deep lavender 

 pink, which darken as they age, leaving the tips silvery 

 white. A striking new variety and a good addition to 

 this type. Pkt., 25c.
