ASTERS (Annual) 



Three Qroups 

 of Regal Beauty 



GIANT SUNSHINE 



The Daintiest and Most Graceful 

 Aster Grown; an Ideal Cut Flower 



There is no doubt that the Sunshine Aster is a 

 distinct acquisition to floriculture. 



The colors are surprisingly beautiful, chiefly be- 

 cause of the strongly contrasting, disc-like centers 

 with the surrounding aurea of petals. 

 ~~ The ensemble presents an airy, lace-like effect 

 different to any other Aster. The flowers average 3 

 to 4 inches in diameter.

GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 



A Majestic Recurved Aster of Perfect 

 Form, Vigorous Growth, Fine Stems 



We take pleasure in recommending this truly 

 grand aster as being the best in its class ever offered 

 to garden lovers. It is a combination of the 

 well-known Comet or Ostrich Plume type of flower, 

 with long-branching stems and sturdy habit of 

 growth. 



Careful selection has perfected the type and we 

 recommend them strongly both for cutting and 

 bedding.

INVINCIBLE (Hendersons) 



Shown in Colors on Page 16 



"They are Royally Grand." The 

 Largest and Most Beautiful of all 

 Incurved Asters. 



A superior race in every way. The plants are 

 wilt resistant of very robust, branching growth, 

 about 2 feet or more high, producing, on long stems, 

 massive Chrysanthemum-like flowers of perfect 

 form, exceedingly double to the very center. The 

 petals are thick, durable, and the flowers last long in 

 perfection. They are continuous bloomers from 

 summer until frost. When grown in masses in 

 garden borders, or grouped in beds, their effect 

 is gay and enlivening. When well grown the 

 flowers average 3% inches across; 4-inch' flowers are 

 quite common, and if grown for cut flowers, the 

 side branches pruned, allowing a plant to carry 

 not over 8 flowers, one flower to a stem, they may 

 measure up to 5 inches across.
