ASTERS 
Selected and Improved Strains 
There are few flowers that make a better show in the fall | 
than the Aster. It is the most popular annual flower grown, |} 
and justly so on account of its ease of culture, season of bloom, | 
and lasting qualities, both in the garden and as a cut-flower. To} 
be able to cut Asters abundantly and over the longest possible | 
period, you should make several sowings of the early, mid-) 
season, and late-flowering types. Sow the seed in shallow boxes |h 
in the house or in the hotbed in March; transplant the seedlings: 
2 inches apart in boxes, when they are large enough to handle; 
and plant to permanent beds in May. The second sowing can | 
be made in the coldframe the latter part of April. The third | 
sowing should be made the latter part of May. Set the plants) 
of early varieties 10 inches apart in the row, and those of the | 
later varieties 15 to 18 inches apart. The richer the ground the | 
better your flowers will be, and water is very necessary. Asters 
California Double Giants 
We take pleasure in recommending this type as the best | 
Aster on the market today. Characterized by the Crego or | 
Ostrich Feather type of flower, combined with the Beauty | 
Aster’s long, non-lateral branching stems and sturdy habit of. 
growth, the California Double Giant type of Aster stands at} 
the head of the list, not only for florists’ use, but also for | 
private gardens where quality is appreciated.

Single Giants of California 
We are offering this wonderful Aster for the first time | 
this year. It was developed out of the Double Giants of Cali- | 
fornia type. The flowers are large, measuring three to four 
inches across, with stems 18 to 24 inches in length. The petal 
has a slight twist, which adds a piquant touch to its beauty. 
The white blossoms resemble Shasta Daisies in appearance, but — 
their greater length of stem makes them more graceful. In> 
the garden, the Single Giants of California add a charming note 
of simplicity among the fuller types of Asters.
