Just when summer is beginning to merge into autumn and the floral bloom 

 in the garden is diminishing, along comes the queenly Annual China Aster to 

 make up the deficiency and renew the attractiveness of the garden. 



WILT-RESISTANT ASTER SEED — Through the use of wilt-resistant seed, 

 success may be had where the soil is infected with wilt fungus, where it has 

 been impossible to grow perfect Asters on account of it. Aster Yellows is a 

 different disease spread by leafhoppers.

These truly grand Asters win enthusiastic 

 admiration from all who see them. The 

 flowers are of immense size, 4 to 5 and 

 often 6 inches across, composed of long, 

 wavy twisted petals, gracefully formed into 

 loose, yet densely double. The plants of 

 luxuriant branching growth, attain a height 

 of 18 inches to 2 feet, each plant bearing 

 from 20 to 30 of these magnificent flowers 

 on very long stems, which gives them an 

 added value for cutting and vasing.

GIANT SUNSHINE 



The Daintiest and Most Graceful Aster

 prisingly beautiful, chiefly because of the 

 strongly contrasting, disc-like centers with 

 the surrounding area 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. It is a combination of

 and we recommend them strongly both for 

 cutting and bedding.
