ASTERS 

 Novelties and Improved Strains 



CALIFORNIA DOUBLE GIANTS 



We take pleasure in recommending this type as the best Asteii 

 on the market today. Characterized by the Crego or Ostrich j 

 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 oi 

 the list, not only for florists' use, but also for private gardens 

 where quality is appreciated. We believe the California Double 

 Giant type of Aster will this year take its deserved place as the 

 best Aster for florists' and for general use.

THE SUNSHINE 



Improved Anemone Flowered 



ASTER 



This type of Aster was introduced by an English seed-house several years 

 ago. Later, a German seed grower succeeded not only in selecting two more 

 colors (white and lilac), but also eliminated a large percentage of single 

 flowers from this strain, besides breeding the strain to a flat center, away 

 from the anemone-quilled type. 



The plants ai-e sturdy and strong, throwing up long flower stalks, making 

 wonderful cut flowers. Some of the flowers have twisted petals and some have 

 quilled petals; all have a cushion center of tiny quills of a contrasting color 

 which makes a flower look as if it were covered with snowflakes. A wonderful 

 cut-flower \ariety, borne on long, stiff stems, and the flowers last a long time 

 after cutting.
