Aster, Giant California Sunshine 
Giant California Sunshine Asters 
A glorious new type of Asters growing 3 feet high and carrying 
large, showy blossoms on elegant long stems. The color combin- 
ations in this new Aster are particularly beautiful as most of 
them have a dual tone effect created by the cushion-like center 
of a different color than the large, gracefully curved outer ray 
petals. Splendid for garden display and for cutting.

Celosia pyramidalis, Flame of Fire 
1869 Flame of Fire 
Among the many novelties of recent years this Celosia stands out 
as a very distinct and desirable annual. The plants grow about 
18 inches in height, forming perfect little pyramids with each 
branch ending in a heavy, large, round cone of a most brilliant and 
intense rich crimson. The formation of the flower heads is entirely 
distinct from all other Celosias. The fact that it blooms from 
August until October is a feature that makes it particularly valu- 
able. Wonderful for garden display, for cutting, and in pots.
