ASTER 



GIANT CALIFORNIA 



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. Gracefulness of form 

 is a distinguishing characteristic. The full cen- 

 ters of tabular, bifurcate petals surround the 

 center, creating an airy, lace-like effect, which 

 is altogether charming. In color, the flowers 

 may be described as varying shades of En- 

 chantress-pink, Appleblossom, Deep-rose, Blue 

 and Lavender, but the disc, sometimes light yel- 

 low, sometimes blue, brings additional variety 

 in tint. A bouquet comprising the complete 

 ensemble of shades, presents delicate gradua- 

 tions of color as well as startling color contrasts 

 which enchant the eye of the beholder.

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 meas- 

 uring 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.
