New Sunshine Asters 
Improved Anemone-Flowered 
A beautiful new type of Aster, forming well-branched bushes 
carrying a profusion of excellent long-stemmed 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 snow flakes. The 
blue flowers are dotted with a paler blue and some in white, and 
the rose in a lighter shade of pink or white. Their delicate beauty 
is hard to describe. Excellent for garden display and particularly 
fine for cutting. We 
offer the following 
colors: Crimson, Lilac, 
Blue, Rose, White. Sepa¬ 
rate colors or mixed, 10c 
per packet; 3 pkts., 25c;

Giants of • 
California 
New Sunshine Asters 
The enormous flowers, which often measure up to 6 inches in diameter, are 
of the Ostrich Feather type, with long, graceful petals attractively curled and 
twisted. The plants grow 2 to 3 feet tall and carry their flowers on fine long 
stems. Due to the size of the blossoms there are fewer to each plant, and 
they are about two weeks later than our Giant Ostrich Feather and the Comet 
and Crego types. Their immense size and beauty, long sturdy stems, and good 
lasting quality make them unsurpassed for cutting. We offer mixed colors 
only, but in our mixture will be found a fine assortment of colors ranging 
from clear white to purple. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c.
