Excellent for Cut Flowers 
M m m m During the late summer 
m MM MJ/J _*■ and early fall the garden is 
Pi nWPT usually a riot of red 
ivTVCi and y ello ws, so the 
^PPnC Asters with their 
dainty and dis¬ 
tinct colors, as 
well as their 
many attractive forms, are a pleasing contrast. The long 
stems make them desirable for cut flowers and the blooms 
last long in water. It should be remembered, however, that 
good culture is essential in order to obtain an abundance of 
fine flowers. 
ASTER, GIANT PEONY FLOWERED 
A planting of this superb new strain of Asters in our trial grounds this 
summer created an unusual sensation. Their immense, fully double flowers 
borne on long, stout, non-lateral stems and their excellent keeping qualities 
placed them at the head of the list as cut flowers. Where quality is appreci¬ 
ated we cannot recommend them too highly for either cut flowers or for 
bedding plants. Per Pkt.

IMPROVED CALIFORNIA DOUBLE ASTERS 
We believe as the result of our tests that this is the best Aster in existence. 
Combining the well known Crego or Ostrich Feather type with the Beauty 
Aster in long, non-lateral branching stems, it produces sturdy plants with 
lovely double flowers. We consider it quite indispensable for private gardens 
where quality is appreciated. The plants grow from 3 to V /2 feet high and 
the flowers, 5 inches and more in diajneter, are beautifully curled and 
interlaced.

ASTER, SUPER GIANT 
Los Angeles is the first variety of 
this new giant race, and beautifully it 
upholds the romantic traditions of its 
namesake, the glamorous city of sun¬ 
shine and flowers. The flowers, in color 
a serenely pure shell-pink, are full 
petaled, deep and unusually large, 
artistically graceful in the interlacing of 
their petals. Standing majestically above 
their fellow asters in the annual border, 
they show up best when combined with 
a planting of Blue Lace Flowers. As a 
cut flower they lend a feeling of quiet 
dignity to any decorative arrangement.

Camellia-Flowered Balsam. 
New Early Flowering 
Height, 2 to 3 feet. Commences blooming 
about August first and continues from 
then on until frost. The flowers are very 
beautifully formed and of large size, 4 
to 5 inches in diameter. They are borne 
on stout stems which are 18 to 20 inches 
long, making them excellent for cutting. 
This is without doubt one of the finest 
Asters ever developed.
