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 because of 
the strongly contrasting, disc-like centers with the sur- 
rounding 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.

American climate and conditions.
