Aster, Giant California Sunshine 



Giant California Sunshine Aster 



1450 Plants of this new race grow three feet high and bear blossoms 

 on long, stiff stems, admirable for cutting. The individual 

 blooms are enormous, four to six inches in diameter. 



The color in these new Asters is startlingly beautiful. 

 A dual tone effect is obtained through the contrasting tints 

 of the disc-hke center and the outer or guard petals. In 

 color they vary in shades of Enchantress-pink, Apple- 

 blossom, deep rose, blue, and lavender, but the disc, some- 

 times light yellow, sometimes blue, adds considerably to 

 the colorful effect of the blooms. In mixture only.
